Shreyas Iyer in ICU: What a rib-cage injury means and why it is concerning?
Team India's vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, suffered an injury in the third ODI of the Australia tour. The match was played in Sydney, where Team India defeated the Kangaroos by 9 wickets to secure their final victory in the series.
Team India suffered defeats in the first two ODIs. After a poor performance in the first match, Iyer returned to action in the second ODI in Adelaide and scored a half-century, but the team still lost. Iyer did not need to bat in the third ODI, as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played brilliant innings to lead the team to victory.
In the third ODI, the Kangaroos scored 184 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 33.3 overs. Alex Carey attempted an inside-out shot on the fourth ball of Harshit Rana's over, but mistimed the ball. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, fielding at backward point, took a brilliant catch while running back.
However, he lost his balance while taking the catch and fell over twice, fracturing his left rib. This victory was crucial for the team, but Iyer's injury has raised concerns about his health.

Shreyas Iyer has also had a long history of injuries. He has suffered four major injuries in the last four years, and his results have been devastating. In 2021, Iyer suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. Following this injury, he stepped down from the captaincy of the Delhi Capitals, with Pant taking over. In 2023, Iyer suffered a lower back injury, preventing him from playing in the IPL. In 2024, he experienced discomfort in his lower back, forcing him to take a break from Test cricket. Now, he has suffered a rib injury. However, Iyer has made a strong comeback every time, and fans will expect the same from him this time as well.
