Initially, Shreyas Iyer's injury was considered minor, but after the BCCI update, concerns are set to rise high, as the vice-captain of the Team India ODI squad has injured his rib. During the third One Day International match against Australia in Sydney, he was taken to hospital for further treatment, BCCI informed during the match.
