\"Shreyas Shreyas Iyer (Photo by Ayush Kumar\/Getty Images) Mumbai: Much to the relief of millions of Indian cricket fans, Shreyas Iyer<\/a> is on the road to recovery. In fact, on Tuesday, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told TOI that the India batter Shreyas<\/a> Iyer \u201crecovered faster than what the doctor expected.\u201d Iyer, who suffered a spleen injury while taking a catch during the third and final ODI against Australia at the SCG last week, is stable and out of the ICU. While diving forward to complete the catch on the run, he suffered an awkward fall that resulted in a ruptured spleen and necessitated immediate hospitalisation. \u201cShreyas is much, much, much better. His recovery has been much faster than what the doctor expected. I\u2019m in regular touch with Dr Rizwan (Khan, Indian team doctor who stayed back with Iyer to assist with his treatment at the Sydney hospital). Normally, he should take six to eight weeks (to recover completely), but you can expect a surprise from him because he may recover much earlier,\u201d Saikia told TOI.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctors are very satisfied with his progress. He has started his normal functioning (routine chores). His injury was very severe, but he has recovered and is out of danger, which is why he was shifted from the ICU to his room in the hospital yesterday,\u201d the Board secretary added. Saikia said that Iyer didn\u2019t undergo surgery but \u201ca different procedure.\u201d \u201cShreyas didn\u2019t undergo a surgery but underwent a different procedure, which is why he recovered so early,\u201d Saikia revealed. The \u201cdifferent procedure,\u201d it is understood, was needed to immediately stop the internal bleeding. \u201cThe usual hospital stay for this injury is 7\u201310 days. So, Iyer is likely to be in the hospital for that long,\u201d a source tracking developments told this paper. The BCCI is arranging for Shreyas\u2019 sister, Shresta Iyer, to fly to Sydney to join and help him out there soon. \u201cThe BCCI has done its best to help Shreyas out. The BCCI\u2019s doctor (Rizwan) is totally focused on Iyer\u2019s treatment and recovery there. Shreyas has been put up in the best hospital in Sydney (St Vincent\u2019s Hospital),\u201d Saikia said. It is learnt that on Tuesday, Iyer was in fine shape, eating solid food, walking in the Sydney hospital without support, and taking phone calls. Providing an update on his condition, India\u2019s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, speaking to reporters ahead of the first T20I against Australia, said, \u201cWe spoke to him at least on the first day when we got to know that he had an injury. I called him first. Then I found out that he did not have a phone. So I called the physio, Kamlesh. He told me that he is stable. On the first day, I don\u2019t know how, but he was looking good. We have been talking for two days now. He has been replying. If he is replying on the phone, it means he is stable. \u201cThere is also a doctor there, so it is looking good. I mean, he is good. He is talking. Everything is normal. He said that he will take care of himself for a few more days. But he has been replying, talking to everyone, so it is good,\u201d the India T20 skipper, currently in Canberra, said. In Mumbai, Mumbai captain and India all-rounder Shardul Thakur also revealed to the media that he \u201cspoke to Shreyas.\u201d \u201cHe was stable,\u201d said the pacer.Pratika Rawal to be out of action for four months Meanwhile, the BCCI secretary revealed that India women\u2019s team opener Pratika Rawal, who picked up a knee injury while trying to save a boundary, will be \u201cout of action for four to six months.\u201d \u201cPratika will be out of action for four months. The women\u2019s selection committee has named Shafali Verma as her replacement,\u201d Saikia informed.The injury to Rawal came just three days before India\u2019s crucial World Cup semifinal clash against Australia. The 25-year-old Delhi batter had scored a fine century against New Zealand and was India\u2019s second-highest run-getter in the tournament, behind her senior opening partner Smriti Mandhana<\/a>.
