National team batter Shreyas Iyer suffered a spleen laceration and was admitted to a medical center in Sydney following an unfortunate tumble while taking a catch during the final ODI match against Australia, according to cricket authorities.
The experienced player injured himself on match day while fielding to dismiss Alex Carey, with the athlete holding his abdomen and showing discomfort after falling onto the Sydney Cricket Ground field.
Scans have revealed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under treatment, medically stable, and recovering well.
After receiving immediate medical attention, the batter did not return in the match, which India ultimately won by nine wickets. Australia had already won the tournament with wins in the initial games played in Perth and Adelaide.
The medical emergency was reportedly "life threatening at that moment," according to media reports.
The medical representative will stay at Sydney with Shreyas to evaluate his daily improvement and guarantee proper healing from the serious medical condition.
India's upcoming matches include a multiple-game Twenty20 series against Australia, starting in Canberra on midweek. Iyer won't participate in the T20 squad due to his current condition.
