The situation was reportedly "critical at that moment," according to media reports. Abdominal trauma: Caused by direct blow to the left lower rib cage Medical assessment: Performed in Australian hospital Medical supervision: Team doctor remaining in Sydney to evaluate recovery Recovery Process The Indian team doctor will remain in Sydney with Shreyas to assess his day-to-day progress and ensure proper recovery from the serious medical condition. India's upcoming matches include a multiple-game Twenty20 series versus Australia, starting in Canberra on midweek. Iyer won't participate in the T20 squad due to his ongoing recovery.
