Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer has undergone surgery in Sydney after sustaining a serious injury during the third One-Day International against Australia. The incident occurred when Iyer attempted to take a catch, leading to a rib injury that resulted in internal bleeding.
According to reports, the right-handed batter was immediately shifted to the intensive care unit for medical attention. Following the procedure, doctors confirmed that his condition is now stable. They have advised a week of rest and limited physical activity to ensure complete recovery.
Iyer’s Condition Reported Stable
Sources close to the medical team stated that Iyer’s surgery was successful, and he is responding well to treatment. The cricketer will remain under medical observation for a few days before being discharged. His progress is being monitored closely to prevent any complications.
Medical experts have also recommended gradual rehabilitation once he recovers enough to resume training. The management is expected to make a formal announcement regarding his future participation once he gets clearance from the doctors.
