In a concerning development for Indian cricket fans, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer has been rushed to a Sydney hospital following complications from a back injury sustained during the recent Test match against Bangladesh.
The 28-year-old cricketer was diagnosed with internal bleeding, a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention and careful monitoring. Iyer, who has been a crucial part of India's batting lineup, complained of severe discomfort after the match, prompting team medical staff to take immediate action.
Medical Emergency Down Under
Team India's medical unit, led by Dr. Nitin Patel, made the decision to admit Iyer to a leading Sydney hospital after preliminary examinations revealed signs of internal bleeding. The condition is believed to be related to the back injury he managed during the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur.
"The medical team is taking all necessary precautions to ensure Shreyas receives the best possible care," a BCCI source revealed. "Internal bleeding is not something to take lightly, especially for an athlete at this level."
