Shreyas Iyer discharged from hospital in Sydney.

India's ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been discharged from the hospital in Sydney on Saturday (November 1), BCCI confirmed via their official X handle.

"Shreyas Iyer sustained a blunt injury to his abdomen while fielding during the third ODI against Australia on 25th October 2025, resulting in a laceration of his spleen with internal bleeding. The injury was promptly identified, and the bleeding was immediately arrested following a minor procedure. He has undergone appropriate medical management for the same," read the released statement.

"He is now stable and recovering well. The BCCI Medical Team, along with specialists in Sydney and India, are pleased with his recovery, and he has been discharged from the hospital today."

From Tuesday (October 28), Iyer was connected to people via phone calls and was having home-cooked meals arranged by friends in the city. India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav also shared an update on his condition before the T20I series against Australia.

The BCCI also extended its gratitude to Dr Koroush Haghighi and Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala for Iyer's treatment.

The 30-year-old had sustained a lower left rib cage injury while attempting a difficult running catch to dismiss Alex Carey off Harshit Rana's bowling in the third ODI. Iyer is expected to return to India when he is fit to fly but will be out of action for at least next two months.
