Shreyas Iyer, India's ODI vice-captain, has been released from a Sydney hospital after surgery on injuries sustained during a dramatic third ODI against Australia. His remarkable catch to dismiss Alex Carey resulted in a spleen and rib injury.

Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen with internal bleeding, which was swiftly managed through a minor procedure. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirms that Iyer is stable and recovering well.

The 30-year-old will stay in Sydney for follow-up medical consultations before returning to India when fit to fly. Iyer's absence from cricket is expected to last at least two months.
