India's Cricket Player Shreyas Iyer Recovering in Hospital After Torn Spleen Incident
National team batter Shreyas Iyer suffered a spleen laceration and entered a medical center in Sydney following an unfortunate tumble while attempting a catch during the final ODI match against Australia, according to cricket authorities.
