India’s Iyer improving ‘every day’ after lacerating spleen in Australia

Shreyas Iyer, an Indian batsman who injured his spleen while taking a one-day hit against Australia, claims he is “getting better every passing day.”

After pulling off a sensational catch to take Alex Carey out for a third ODI in Sydney on Saturday, the 30-year-old vice-captain doubled over in pain.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India revealed that he had internal bleeding and was taken to the hospital.

Iyer’s first comments on social media since the incident on Thursday stated that he is currently in the recovery process and that he is getting better every day.

“I’m incredibly appreciative of the kind wishes and support I’ve received; it means a lot to me.

He continued, “Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.”

Suryakumar Yadav, the Twenty20 captain of India, claimed the injury was “rare” and that doctors and physiotherapists had been treating him to.

However, it happens with a limited talent. He said, “God is with him, and he will recover soon, and we will take him along with us.”

Iyer is not a member of India’s T20 squad, which will play on Friday at the sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground for their second of five matches against Australia.
