Indian vice-captain Shreyas Iyer was hospitalized with a rib injury after a diving catch in Sydney on October 25, 2025.

Indian vice-captain Shreyas Iyer was taken to a Sydney hospital on October 25, 2025, after sustaining a left rib cage injury while taking a diving catch off Alex Carey’s shot in the third ODI against Australia. The catch ended a 59-run partnership, but Iyer landed awkwardly and was helped off the field, missing the rest of Australia’s innings. He had scored 61 in the previous match and is now under medical assessment. His injury adds to India’s concerns, following the absence of all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, sidelined with a left quadriceps strain. India made two changes to their lineup, replacing Arshdeep Singh and Reddy with Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli led India’s chase, securing a nine-wicket win. Iyer’s availability for upcoming ODIs against South Africa and New Zealand remains uncertain.
