Inside Details of Shreyas Iyer’s Injury: Still in ICU After Dangerously Low Vitals and Internal Bleeding | Cricket News

New Delhi: Team India vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is in intensive care at a Sydney hospital as he continues to recover from the nasty fall he suffered during the third ODI against Australia. Iyer, who made a superb catch as he ran back to dismiss Alex Carey, appeared to injure his left ribcage during the effort and was taken to hospital shortly after returning to the dressing room on Saturday.It is reliably known that Iyer had dangerously low vital signs after the fall and was rushed to the hospital in a life-threatening situation at the time.

TimesofIndia.com has also learned that Shreyas Iyer might have suffered a splenic rupture, which caused internal bleeding.The impact of the fall split part of the body just below the ribcage and caused severe internal bleeding. It is understood he was not in a good position in the dressing room and was quickly rushed to hospital after his blood pressure dropped to alarming levels. These developments indicate that this could have been a problem, but the BCCI medical team and support staff acted very quickly to ensure that he received immediate medical attention.There is no official word yet from the Indian cricket board, but it is learned that Iyer is likely to remain in the ICU for two more days and his stay could be extended if the bleeding does not subside in the next 48 hours. If there is no improvement, he may well be under close observation over the coming week, but it is safe to say he will remain hospitalized for at least the next seven days.

In this delicate situation, BCCI is keeping a close eye on the cricketer and even keeping his family informed with the latest updates.“Shreyas Iyer suffered an impact injury to the left lower region of the rib cage while playing during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on October 25, 2025. He was taken to hospital for further evaluation,” the BCCI said in an official statement. “Scans revealed a laceration to his 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 the status of his injury.
