National team batter Shreyas Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen and entered a medical center in Sydney following an unfortunate tumble while taking a catch during the third one-day international versus Australia, according to team officials.
Match Incident
The experienced player injured himself on Saturday while fielding to remove Alex Carey, with the athlete clutching his side and showing discomfort after tumbling onto the SCG turf.
Scans have revealed a tearing wound to the spleen. He is under medical care, in stable condition, and showing improvement.
Medical Response
After receiving immediate medical attention, the player did not return in the game, which India ultimately won by nine wickets. Australia had already won the series 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.
