Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen and was admitted to a medical center in Sydney after an unfortunate tumble while attempting a catch during the third one-day international versus Australia, according to team officials.
The 30-year-old sustained the injury on Saturday while fielding to dismiss Alex Carey, with the athlete holding his abdomen and showing discomfort after falling onto the SCG turf.
Medical examinations showed a tearing wound to the abdominal organ. He is under treatment, in stable condition, and recovering well.
After receiving on-field treatment, the player did not return in the match, which India secured victory by a significant margin. Australia had previously secured the tournament with earlier victories in the first two matches played in Western and South Australian cities.
The situation was reportedly "critical at that moment," according to news sources.
The Indian team doctor will stay at Sydney with Shreyas to assess his day-to-day progress and guarantee proper healing from the serious medical condition.
India's upcoming matches include a five-match Twenty20 series versus Australia, beginning in Canberra on Wednesday. Iyer won't participate in the T20 squad due to his current condition.
