Shreyas Iyer provides injury update: I am currently in recovery process
Indian batter Shreyas Iyer took to social media on Thursday to provide an update on his injury, which he sustained during his side’s third ODI against Australia in Sydney.
“I’m currently in recovery process and getting better, every passing day. I’m deeply grateful to see all the kind wishes and support I’ve received. It truly means a lot. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts,” Shreyas wrote on Instagram.
On Saturday, Shreyas suffered a ribcage injury while taking a diving catch. He was rushed to the hospital and later admitted to the ICU after his vitals dropped due to internal bleeding. Doctors subsequently diagnosed a laceration to the spleen. However, Shreyas was soon stabilised and moved out of the ICU on Monday.
India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav had provided an update on Shreyas on Tuesday. “When I got to know about his injury, I called our physio Kamlesh Jain. Iyer has been replying on the phone now, which means he is stable.”
“It’s unfortunate what happened, and such cases are rare. But rare things happen to rare talent like Shreyas Iyer. By God’s grace, everything is fine. We’ll take him back home after the series,” he said.
