Shreyas Iyer, who suffered a spleen laceration during the Sydney ODI against Australia, is now recovering well in hospital. The BCCI confirmed his condition is stable after initial ICU care

Although Iyer’s removal from ICU is an encouraging sign, full recovery from a spleen-related injury can take several weeks. For now, both medical experts and the Indian camp are relieved that the worst appears to have passed, but the next phase of his rehabilitation will determine when he can safely return to the field.
