Recovery Process and Next Steps
According to the BCCI, Shreyas Iyer will remain in Sydney for a few days for routine follow-ups. He will fly back to India once doctors confirm he is fit to travel. Dr Koroush Haghighi’s team treated him in Sydney with guidance from Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala in India.
The board also thanked both medical teams for their immediate response and continued support. Fans have been relieved to hear that Iyer’s condition is improving steadily. His commitment and resilience have inspired many across the cricketing community.
Impact on India’s Schedule
With Shreyas Iyer discharged from Sydney hospital, India’s management will review his availability for the upcoming Test and T20I matches. His absence could slightly affect the middle order, but the team remains confident in its bench strength.
India won the third ODI by nine wickets but lost the series 2-1. As the T20I series continues, Iyer’s recovery updates remain a top concern for Indian fans.
