Shreyas Iyer Starts Training After Spleen Injury
Team India received a boost as the latest Shreyas Iyer injury update confirmed his return to training. Iyer shared an Instagram story on Tuesday and informed fans that his rehab has started again.
Iyer injured himself during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on October 25. He landed awkwardly while attempting a catch and walked off the field immediately. Doctors later shifted him to the ICU for further checks. The BCCI stated that he suffered a blunt-force abdominal injury that caused a spleen laceration and internal bleeding.
Doctors performed a minor procedure to stop the bleeding. Iyer recovered well and returned home in November. Since then, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala has supervised his treatment and rehabilitation.
