The Indian cricket has received a huge boost regarding Shreyas Iyer as the ODI vice-captain has been discharged from the hospital on Saturday (November 1). His progress of recovery has been steady and for the time being, Iyer will continue to stay in Sydney for a few more days.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India released an official statement to announce Iyer's latest development. Iyer, who suffered a lower rib injury while fielding during the second ODI against Australia, had subsequently developed internal bleeding. As his health declined, the Mumbai batter had to be moved to the ICU temporarily. However, with prompt and efficient treatment, Iyer is on the road to recovery.
"Shreyas Iyer sustained a blunt injury to his abdomen while fielding during the third ODI against Australia on 25th October 2025, resulting in a laceration of his spleen with internal bleeding," read BCCI's latest statement released by secretary Devajit Saikia.
"The injury was promptly identified, and the bleeding was immediately arrested following a minor procedure. He has undergone appropriate medical management for the same. He is now stable and recovering well. The BCCI Medical Team, along with specialists in Sydney and India, are pleased with his recovery, and he has been discharged from the hospital today."
BCCI's medical staff will evaluate Iyer's physical condition once he returns to India but the timeline for that isn't certain yet. The Indian team team doctor is still in Sydney with the cricketer to monitor his daily progress. The Board revealed that the future course of action for Iyer will be decided in due course.
"The BCCI extends its heartfelt gratitude to Dr Kouroush Haghigi and his team in Sydney, along with Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala in India, for ensuring Shreyas received the best treatment for his injury. Shreyas will continue to stay in Sydney for follow-up consultations and will return to India once he is deemed fit to fly."
