Shreyas Iyer Discharged From Sydney Hospital, Recovery Stable After ODI Injury

India ODI vice‑captain Shreyas Iyer suffered a blunt abdominal injury — a lacerated spleen with internal bleeding — while fielding to take a catch to dismiss Alex Carey in the third ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 25 October 2025. The bleeding was promptly identified and arrested following a minor procedure in Sydney, and he received ongoing care from the BCCI medical team alongside specialists including Dr Kouroush Haghighi and Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala. Iyer was discharged from the Sydney hospital, is now stable and recovering, and will remain in Australia for follow‑up consultations before returning to India once cleared to fly. Media reports said he was briefly under intensive observation and that the injury was potentially life‑threatening before treatment; the player may be sidelined for around two months and could miss upcoming series. The BCCI expressed gratitude to the treating doctors and said medical teams in Sydney and India are pleased with his recovery.
