Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer experienced a lacerated spleen and entered a medical center in Sydney after an awkward fall while taking a catch during the final ODI match versus Australia, according to team officials.
The experienced player sustained the injury on Saturday while catching to remove Alex Carey, with Iyer clutching his side and showing discomfort after falling onto the SCG turf.
Medical examinations showed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under medical care, in stable condition, and recovering well.
After receiving on-field treatment, the player did not return in the game, which India secured victory by a significant margin. Australia had previously secured the series with wins in the first two matches played in Western and South Australian cities.
The medical emergency was reportedly "critical at that moment," according to news sources.
The Indian team doctor will stay at Sydney with Shreyas to evaluate his daily improvement and ensure proper recovery from the serious medical condition.
India's next fixture include a five-match Twenty20 series versus Australia, beginning in the capital city on midweek. Iyer is not included in the short-format team due to his ongoing recovery.
