Suryakumar Yadav gave update

Suryakumar Yadav told in the press conference on Tuesday, October 28 that Shreyas Iyer’s condition is stable and he is out of danger. The captain told that he has been sending text messages to Iyer for the last two days and Iyer is replying to them. Suryakumar said that since Iyer is responding to the messages, it means that he is stable. He told that Iyer will be kept under the observation of doctors for a few more days, but right now his condition is good.

Suryakumar Yadav said ahead of the first T20I, “On the first day when I came to know that he was injured, I called him. I found out that he did not have his phone. So, I called the physio and he told me that he is stable. On the first day you can’t be sure of anything. But I have been talking to him for the last two days and he is responding on the phone. If he is responding, it means he is stable. He looks good.” stay Yes, the doctor is with him. But he will remain under observation for the next few days. But he is responding, which is a good thing.”

When will Shreyas return to the field?

Generally, it takes 6 to 12 weeks for the spleen to heal completely. Doctors have given strict advice to avoid any kind of physical contact, impact or vigorous activity during this period. This is because if there is another injury to that area, the wound may reopen and bleeding may begin.
