He clutched his abdomen in visible pain as teammates and medical staff rushed to his aid.Initially believed to be a rib bruise, scans later revealed a grade-two splenic laceration \u2014 a serious injury causing internal bleeding. Iyer was immediately taken to St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital, where quick intervention by doctors and the Indian team\u2019s medical unit prevented the injury from becoming fatal.A hospital insider described the hours following the incident as \u201ccritical,\u201d noting that Iyer\u2019s blood pressure had dropped dangerously low. Fortunately, the bleeding was contained without the need for surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shreyas Iyer (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India cricketer Shreyas Iyer has spoken publicly for the first time since&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,85564,173652,43850,173649,173650,79,173651,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-537655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-india-cricket-news","10":"tag-india-cricketer","11":"tag-shreyas-iyer","12":"tag-shreyas-iyer-injury-update","13":"tag-spleen-laceration","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-sydney-odi-injury","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115463286747152079","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
