🏏 Suryakumar Yadav Provides Heartfelt Update on Shreyas Iyer’s Injury: ‘Sath hi le jayenge usko ghar’

India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has shared a positive and emotional update on teammate Shreyas Iyer, who suffered a spleen injury during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney. Iyer, who was immediately hospitalised following the incident, has now been shifted out of the ICU and is said to be recovering steadily, easing major concerns among fans and teammates.

⚕️ What Happened to Shreyas Iyer?

The 30-year-old Indian batter sustained an internal spleen injury while taking a sharp catch to dismiss Australian batter Alex Carey during the third ODI match. The incident occurred when Iyer dived forward awkwardly, landing on his torso, after which he was seen in visible pain and rushed to a Sydney hospital.

Following medical evaluation, doctors confirmed a spleen injury, which initially required intensive monitoring in the ICU. However, after several days of treatment and observation, Iyer’s condition has improved significantly.

💬 Suryakumar Yadav’s Emotional Update

Speaking on the eve of the first T20I against Australia in Canberra, Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav reassured fans that Iyer’s condition is improving and shared some comforting insights from his recent interactions with him.

In a light-hearted moment, Surya called Iyer a “rare talent” and humorously remarked that “rare things happen to rare people.”

🏥 Iyer’s Recovery Progress

According to BCCI sources, Shreyas Iyer’s condition has stabilized, and he has been shifted out of the ICU. Doctors have advised continued observation for a few more days before discharge.

The medical team is now closely monitoring his recovery, and initial signs suggest he may be fit to travel back to India soon for further rest and rehabilitation.

🇮🇳 Team India’s Support for Iyer

Despite not being part of the T20I squad, Iyer has remained in constant contact with teammates and the team doctor. The Indian players in Canberra have been regularly checking on his condition through video calls and messages.

The BCCI’s medical team is coordinating directly with Sydney specialists to ensure Iyer receives the best care possible. Sources close to the management confirmed that no surgery has been required so far, and doctors are optimistic about a full recovery within a few weeks.

🏏 Impact on India’s Squad Plans

While Iyer’s absence is a setback, India’s bench strength has ensured stability ahead of the five-match T20I series against Australia. The selectors are likely to rest Iyer for the upcoming South Africa tour, allowing him to recover completely before early 2026 assignments, which include home Test matches and the Asia Cup preparations.

Given his form prior to the injury — with consistent ODI runs and a strong middle-order presence — team management remains hopeful that Iyer will return before the new year.

🕊️ Fans and Cricket Fraternity Wish Speedy Recovery

Messages of support have been pouring in from across the cricketing world.
Indian cricketers Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rishabh Pant shared heartfelt wishes on social media, while Australian skipper Pat Cummins also extended his prayers for Iyer’s speedy recovery.

Fans have flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with the hashtag #GetWellSoonIyer, with many sharing clips from his recent batting heroics during India’s successful ODI series against England earlier this year.

📅 What’s Next for Iyer?

If Iyer continues to recover without complications, doctors expect him to be discharged within a week and advised at least 3–4 weeks of rest before resuming light training.
Post-recovery, he will undergo a fitness assessment at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bengaluru, before being cleared for competitive cricket.

Meanwhile, BCCI is expected to provide an official medical update within the next few days.
