India’s Shreyas lyer hospitalised with lacerated spleen

- 

Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer was undergoing treatment in hospital after suffering a lacerated spleen while taking a catch in Sydney against Australia last week, the country’s cricket board said yesterday.

Iyer, 30, sustained an impact injury in his left lower rib cage region as he pulled off a sensational back-pedalling catch to remove Alex Carey, a key moment in the third one-day international that India won by nine wickets.
