India's ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is in the ICU in a Sydney hospital due to internal bleeding from a rib injury during a match against Australia. The BCCI medical team is monitoring his condition closely, and his recovery period remains uncertain.

India's ODI vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, has been hospitalized in Sydney, following a severe rib cage injury during a match against Australia. The injury, sustained while making a remarkable catch, resulted in internal bleeding and a lacerated spleen, leading to his admission to the ICU.

Sources report that Iyer fainted post-match, and his vitals were alarmingly low, necessitating immediate medical intervention. The BCCI medical team, in coordination with specialists, is closely monitoring Iyer's condition as he remains medically stable but under close observation in the ICU.

Iyer's recovery timeline is currently indeterminate, extending beyond the initially expected three weeks. He will stay in Sydney for observation, with the possibility of extending his absence from cricket due to the internal bleeding and infection risks.
