Positive Update: Shreyas Iyer Discharged, Stable Recovery Underway in Sydney
In welcome news for Indian cricket fans, middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has been released from the hospital in Sydney and is now in stable condition. Iyer had been admitted following a terrifying incident during the third ODI against Australia on October 25, where a fielding collision resulted in a lacerated spleen and internal bleeding.
Medical Intervention and Recovery Status
Iyer’s injury—a blunt trauma to his abdomen—required a minor medical procedure to stop the internal bleeding. The cricketer responded exceptionally well to the treatment.
The Indian cricket board announced on Saturday (November 1) that the BCCI Medical Team, in consultation with specialists both in Sydney and back home in India, is highly satisfied with his recovery path. Prior to his release, the player was already showing significant improvement. Team updates confirmed that Iyer was managing essential daily tasks, taking phone calls, and eating home-cooked food provided by local friends. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav had also shared encouraging news with the team ahead of the current T20I series.
Roadmap to Return Home
While Iyer is out of the hospital, his recovery process continues in Australia. He is scheduled to remain in Sydney for follow-up consultations and extensive monitoring. The board confirmed that Iyer will only be cleared to fly back to India once the medical team gives him the green light for safe air travel.
The BCCI used its official communication to extend profound appreciation to the medical staff—specifically naming Dr. Koroush Haghighi and his team in Sydney, and Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala in India—for their diligent and expert care of the injured batter.
