India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been admitted to a Sydney hospital after medical reports revealed internal bleeding from a rib cage injury.
The Indian board, after consulting with its medical team, decided to readmit Iyer to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
“It’s a freak injury and the medical team is in touch with the hospital. The medical team had advised him to be admitted again, as there was bleeding in his rib cage. We are expecting him to be fine later this week,” a BCCI official said.
Iyer got injured during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney while taking a stunning running catch to dismiss Australian batsman Alex Carey. He had to run back from point and, after taking the catch, hurt his rib while tumbling down to the ground to contact the grass.
