During Chhath Puja, India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav's mother was spotted praying for Shreyas Iyer's quick recovery in a touching gesture that has drawn praise from cricket fans nationwide. Fans praised the Yadav family's love and warmth for Iyer when Suryakumar's sister shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, which quickly went viral. "Main ye bolna chahti hoon ki Shreyas Iyer ke liye sab log prarthana karein ki vo bahut achhe se aa jaye. Kyunki maine kal suna ki uski tabiyat theek nahi hai, mujhe bilkul acha nahi laga." (I want to say that everyone should pray for Shreyas Iyer's good recovery. I heard yesterday that he isn't well, and it made me very sad.) Since then, many people have been moved by the video, and social media users have praised her generosity and the strong bonds between the athletes' families. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who suffered a critical injury during the third ODI against Australia, is still recovering in a hospital in Sydney. After trying a challenging running catch to remove Alex Carey off Harshit Rana's bowling, he suffered a cut to his spleen with internal bleeding, according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Iyer was admitted to the hospital right away once his health deteriorated, although he first left the field with the physio's help. He was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for intensive observation after further scans revealed a burst spleen and damage to his lower left rib cage. The BCCI said in a statement that the internal bleeding had been stopped and the injury had been quickly diagnosed. "He is still being watched, but his condition is presently stable. Shreyas is on the road to recovery, according to a repeat scan performed on Tuesday, October 28. The board also stated that its medical staff would continue to monitor his development in cooperation with specialists in Sydney and India. Suryakumar Yadav expressed his relief at Shreyas Iyer's better health ahead of the T20I series opener against Australia in Canberra. "Now see, we are not doctors. When we saw from outside, when the catch was taken (by Shreyas), it looked like it was normal," Suryakumar said. "But later, we were told his condition was serious and he needed immediate attention. After that, we talked to him. When he spoke normally, we felt better because the doctors and physios told us it was an unfortunate incident that happens very rarely. But sometimes rare incidents happen to rare talents." "God is on his side," Suryakumar added. "He is recovering really well, doctors are supporting him, and the BCCI is in full support. He will recover soon, and then we'll take him home with us." According to reports, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, the head of medical services for BCCI, praised the on-field medical team for their prompt action in preventing a potentially dire situation. According to sources, Iyer's relatives are also anticipated to visit Sydney shortly to support him during his recuperation.
