Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has shared a positive update on his recovery following a serious injury sustained during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney. Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen and internal bleeding after an awkward fall while attempting a diving catch, an injury that required hospitalization and intensive care.
Iyer, who was recently discharged from the hospital, expressed deep gratitude for the support he has received from fans and the medical teams in both Sydney and India. While his participation in the upcoming ODI series against South Africa remains doubtful as he requires more than a month to regain full match fitness, his public statement confirms he is making steady progress.
The swift medical intervention was crucial in his recovery, and the positive update provides significant relief to fans and the Indian cricket fraternity. Iyer is focused on his rehabilitation process, aiming to return to peak fitness soon.
