Indian ODI team vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has started training after the operation. Shreyas was seriously injured during the third ODI match against Australia in Sydney on 25 October. Now Iyer has shared his health update on social media, in which he is seen riding an exercise bike. Now it remains to be seen whether Shreyas will be available for selection in Team India by the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, which is going to start in February next year.
How did Shreyas Iyer get injured?
Shreyas Iyer was injured in the Sydney ODI against Australia, when he was trying to catch the ball of Harshit Rana. Iyer had a serious problem of spleen laceration due to his fall from the left side. Due to this, Iyer had to be admitted in the ICU and there was also a complaint of internal bleeding in his body, which could have been fatal. He was operated on in Australia itself, after which his condition became stable. Shreyas Iyer returned to India after being discharged from the hospital in the beginning of November.
Iyer has been advised to take rest for two months
Medical experts have advised Shreyas to take rest for at least two months and stay away from cricket. Doctors say that if spleen injuries are not taken seriously, their hidden dangers can increase, because this organ plays an important role in filtering blood in the body and supporting immunity function. Recently there were reports that due to this injury, Iyer may be out of the race for selection for the T20 World Cup 2026. He will also be out of IPL 2026, but now after this photo, there are speculations that he will soon become fit and return to the field.
