Indian<\/a> batter Shreyas Iyer has injured himself taking a superb catch during their ODI clash with Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aussie keeper Alex Carey<\/a> skied a ball off Harshit Rana, with Iyer juggling a diving effort to send him packing.<\/p>\n

However in the process of completing the catch, the 30-year-old landed hard on his ribs and elbow.<\/p>\n

Shreyas Iyer injured.\u00a0Fox Cricket<\/p>\n

It remains unclear how bad the injury is and whether it will affect him batting in the second innings.<\/p>\n

“Wow, what a catch there. He might have hurt himself,” Fox Cricket commentator Brendon Julian said.<\/p>\n

“He looks very uncomfortable. Hopefully he’s OK and can bat later on.”<\/p>\n

Ex Aussie cricketer Mark Waugh was particularly impressed with the effort while watching the replay.<\/p>\n

“Painful. But it’s a brilliant catch,” Mark Waugh said.<\/p>\n

“He’s fallen hard. He’s juggled that.”<\/p>\n

Iyer came from the field with the help of a trainer following the incident. He didn’t return during the first innings.<\/p>\n

“He’s fallen very heavily. I think his elbow might have ricocheted back into his rib cage when he hit the ground,” Waugh added.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully he’s going to be OK to bat. A very heavy tumble, that one.<\/p>\n

“Even the left shoulder could have easily been dislocated.”<\/p>\n

Former Australian opener David Warner pointed out that Iyer has had shoulder problems before.<\/p>\n

“That looked nasty. Maybe he’s hurt the shoulder, not the hip.”<\/p>\n

The catch changed the trajectory of the first innings. Australia were flying along at 3\/183 before the wicket, but tumbled to 7\/201 as the Indian spinners took control of the innings.<\/p>\n

Matt Renshaw was dismissed for a 58-ball 56 shortly after, before Mitchell Owen and Mitchell Starc went cheaply. <\/p>\n

India would bowl Australia out for just 236 in the end. <\/p>\n

“It was a missed opportunity for Australia and a superb performance from India in the field,” Adam Gilchrist said. <\/p>\n
