The third ODI in Sydney on October 25th brought a major setback for Shreyas Iyer.
Shreyas Iyer ran to backward point and took a brilliant catch from Alex Carey, but dived, injuring his stomach and left rib.
At first, it was thought to be a minor bruise, but scans revealed a ruptured spleen and internal bleeding.
He was immediately rushed to St. Vincent’s Hospital. He remained critical for a few hours, his blood pressure dropping. Doctors then stopped the bleeding with a non-surgical procedure.
