Shreyas Iyer Shares Beach Photo as Recovery Progresses After Spleen Laceration

His post follows hospital discharge after a minor procedure halted internal bleeding, with a monitored recovery projected to sideline him for roughly two to three months.

Overview

  • Iyer posted his first public update since the injury, writing, "Sun's been a great therapy. Grateful to be back," in an Instagram story from a Sydney beach.
  • He suffered a lacerated spleen with internal bleeding after a diving catch to dismiss Alex Carey in the Oct. 25 Sydney ODI, with bleeding arrested following a minor procedure.
  • The batter spent several days in a Sydney hospital, including time in ICU as reported by multiple outlets, and was discharged on or around Nov. 1 before staying for follow-up consultations.
  • Care has been coordinated between Sydney specialist Dr Kouroush Haghigi and Indian expert Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, with India team physio Rizwan Khan remaining by Iyer’s side.
  • The BCCI has indicated a minimum two-month layoff, while several reports suggest about three months, making his participation in the Nov. 30–Dec. 6 ODI series against South Africa unlikely.
