"We spoke to him, Suryakumar told reporters on Tuesday before India's five-match Twenty20 series against Australia beginning in Canberra on Wednesday. When we got to know about his injury, I called him. Then I realised Shreyas doesn't have his phone on him, and I called our physio, Kamlesh Jain, who told us he's stable. He's looking good [now]. We've been in touch for two days, he's replying. If he's able to reply on the phone, then he's stable."
"The 30-year-old sustained an impact injury in his left lower rib cage region as he pulled off a sensational backpedalling catch to remove Alex Carey, a key moment in the third ODI of the series, which India won by nine wickets. Iyer, who is also the vice captain of the ODI team, was forced off the field after the injury and did not return for the rest of Australia's innings."
Shreyas Iyer sustained a lacerated spleen after falling awkwardly while taking a backpedalling catch to dismiss Alex Carey in the third ODI. He was forced off the field, taken to hospital in Sydney, and scans confirmed the spleen laceration. The BCCI medical team monitored him in consultation with Australian and Indian specialists. Suryakumar Yadav reported contacting Iyer and the team physio and said Iyer had been replying to messages, indicating he was stable and recovering. Iyer remained hospitalized and a timeline for his return to play was not yet clear. India won the match but lost the series.
