National team batter Shreyas Iyer experienced a lacerated spleen and was admitted to a medical center in Sydney after an unfortunate tumble while attempting a catch during the third one-day international against Australia, according to cricket authorities.
Game Situation
The 30-year-old sustained the injury on Saturday while catching to dismiss Alex Carey, with Iyer clutching his side and showing discomfort after falling onto the SCG turf.
Scans have revealed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under treatment, in stable condition, and recovering well.
