Shreyas Iyer Recalls Painful Spleen Injury and Recovery Ahead of India ODI

India's vice-captain Shreyas Iyer suffered a serious spleen injury during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney last October, requiring hospitalisation and a procedure to stop internal bleeding. He spent time recovering in Australia before resuming rehabilitation in Bengaluru. Iyer described the injury as excruciatingly painful and revealed he was unaware of the spleen's significance initially. After months of recovery, he returned to competitive cricket with notable performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and an ODI against New Zealand.
