<\/p>\n
India<\/strong> batter Shreyas Iyer<\/strong><\/a> has received an outpouring of love and prayers from fans across the world after suffering a serious spleen injury during the third ODI against Australia<\/strong> in Sydney. The 30-year-old cricketer\u2019s condition, though delicate, is reported to be stable as per BCCI\u2019s latest medical update. Iyer, who was fielding in the covers, sustained a heavy blow to his rib cage while diving acrobatically to dismiss Alex Carey<\/strong> off Harshit Rana<\/strong>\u2019s bowling. The impact led to internal bleeding and a laceration in his spleen, forcing immediate hospitalization at a Sydney medical facility.<\/p>\n As reported by earlier, Iyer spent a night in the intensive care unit following the incident but has now been moved out after responding positively to treatment. The BCCI confirmed that a team doctor, Dr Rizwan Khan<\/strong>, continue to monitor his recovery closely in coordination with local Sydney specialists. The board\u2019s statement mentioned that Iyer remains under close supervision and is \u201cmedically stable.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n The fall, which appeared routine at first glance, quickly turned alarming as teammates called for medical help when Iyer struggled to stand. The game continued after a brief delay, but Iyer was rushed to hospital shortly after, triggering concern among teammates, fans and former cricketers on social media. Messages wishing him strength and speedy recovery poured in from across the cricket community.<\/p>\n Social media platforms saw hashtags like\u00a0#PrayForIyer<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0#WeStandWithShreyas<\/em>\u00a0trend through Monday as fans shared emotional notes and video compilations celebrating his recent form. Former India cricketers and fans also posted messages of support, lauding his resilience and expressing confidence in his return.<\/p>\n Also\u00a0WATCH:<\/strong> SUPERMAN Shreyas Iyer pulls off stunning catch to dismiss Alex Carey, injures himself in the process during AUS vs IND 3rd ODI<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wishing @ShreyasIyer15<\/a> a quick recovery.

Iyer is out of danger but will continue resting under observation for several more days. Though doctors say his spleen injury is recoverable with time and rest, the recovery period could extend beyond two weeks.<\/p>\n Iyer\u2019s family, currently in Mumbai, is preparing to join him in Australia once visa clearance is completed. Until then, a few close friends have been keeping him company at the hospital. BCCI has ensured constant medical and logistical support, highlighting the seriousness with which they are handling the situation.<\/p>\n His next likely assignment for India is the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa<\/strong><\/a> beginning November 30. However, selectors are unlikely to rush him back. Given his crucial role as vice-captain and middle-order anchor in the ODI setup, the team\u2019s management wants him to make a complete recovery before resuming competitive cricket.<\/p>\n Also READ:\u00a0Shreyas Iyer to miss ODI series vs South Africa?
