Injured while taking a catch

He suffered a rib injury during the third ODI against Australia. The injury occurred while running backward from the backward point to catch Alex Carey. Suryakumar Yadav was asked about Shreyas's health. The T20 captain stated that Shreyas is stable and is responding to messages. He added that Shreyas will be kept under observation for a few more days, but is currently out of danger.

 

 

Suryakumar said in the press conference before the first T20, "On the first day, when I found out he was injured, I called him. I found out he didn't have his phone. So, I called the physio, and he told me Shreyas was stable. You can't be sure about anything on the first day. But I've been talking to Shreyas for the last two days, and he's been answering the phone. If he's answering, it means he's stable. He looks fine, and the doctors are with him. But he'll be under observation for the next few days. If he's responding to messages, that's a good thing."
