India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is stable and recovering in a Sydney hospital after scans revealed a laceration injury to his spleen, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Monday. The update follows earlier reports that Iyer had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after internal bleeding was detected following the injury.
Iyer sustained an impact injury to his left lower rib cage while fielding during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on 25 October. He was taken to hospital soon after the incident for further evaluation.
In an official statement, the BCCI said: “Shreyas Iyer sustained an impact injury to his left lower rib cage region while fielding during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on 25th October 2025. He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
“Scans have revealed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under treatment, medically stable, and recovering well. The BCCI Medical Team, in consultation with specialists in Sydney and India, is closely monitoring his injury status,” the board said.
