In a much-needed relief for Indian cricket fans, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a Sydney hospital and is now in a stable condition. Iyer suffered a ruptured spleen and rib cage injury during the third ODI match against Australia, which led to his immediate hospitalization.

According to the BCCI’s official statement released on Tuesday (October 28, 2025), medical experts in both Sydney and India are closely monitoring Iyer’s recovery. "The BCCI Medical Team, in consultation with specialists in Sydney and India, will continue to monitor his progress," the board said, assuring fans that the cricketer is receiving the best possible medical care.

The incident occurred during a crucial phase of the match when Iyer was attempting a dive to save runs near the boundary, resulting in a severe impact to his abdomen and chest. He was quickly attended to by medical staff and rushed to the hospital, where he underwent several tests and was later admitted to the ICU for observation.

With Iyer’s condition now improving, the focus shifts to his rehabilitation and recovery timeline, which will be determined based on further medical assessments. While it’s too early to predict when he will return to the field, the cricket community is optimistic about his comeback.

Fans, teammates, and cricketing legends from around the world have poured in wishes for his speedy recovery, highlighting Iyer’s fighting spirit and dedication to the game.

As the Indian team continues its series Down Under, the cricket fraternity hopes to see Shreyas Iyer back in action soon   stronger and healthier than ever.
