Cricket: Iyer in hospital after suffering a lacerated spleen while taking a catch

# Cricket: Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer is undergoing treatment in hospital after suffering a lacerated spleen while taking a catch in Sydney against Australia last week. He 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. Despite the victory, India lost the series 1-2 after suffering defeats in the first two games in Perth and Adelaide.
