Suryakumar Yadav shares good news on Shreyas Iyer: ‘He’s stable, speaking with people’

India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav provided some good news regarding Shreyas Iyer on Tuesday, sharing that the batter is “stable” and “replying” to messages. Iyer has been in the hospital since Saturday after he suffered a ribcage injury while taking a sensational catch during the India-Australia third ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Iyer was quickly moved to the hospital and later admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as his vitals dropped significantly and he suffered internal bleeding. It has been revealed that Iyer suffered from a laceration to the spleen, which could have been fatal, but timely treatment has stabilised his condition.

SKY, who is in Australia as well, added that he would take Iyer back to India when he returns.

“It is unfortunate what happened and these cases are very rare. But rare things happen to rare talent like Shreyas Iyer. By god’s grace, everything is fine. Sath hi le jayenge usko ghar (We will take with him to India after the series),” Surya added.
