“I’m currently in recovery process and getting better, every passing day. I’m deeply grateful to see all the kind wishes and support I’ve received- it truly means a lot. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts”
Shreyas Iyer sustained an injury after he caught a catch to dismiss Alex Carey while Harshit Rana was bowling in the third ODI against Australia. As soon as Iyer fell on the ground he was visibly in pain and he was immediately taken back to the dressing room. According to the PTI, it has been reported that Shreyas Iyer collapsed in the dressing room and the parameters of his vitals also dropped significantly. Earlier, it was mentioned that it was an injury to the left rib but situation worsened.
