India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is recovering in Sydney after suffering a spleen and rib cage injury during the third and final ODI against Australia on October 25. Shreyas Iyer injured his spleen and rib cage while diving forward to take a difficult catch to dismiss Alex Carey.
Initially, it looked like a simple rib injury, but scans confirmed that the 30-year-old cricketer suffered a grade-two splenic tear, which led to internal bleeding. Iyer was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where doctors and Indian medical staff took quick action to stabilize him.

Shrestha shared a story featuring her pup without any caption, but her post did mention Telstra, one of Australia’s largest telecommunications companies. Telstra provides mobile, internet and home phone services to both individuals and businesses across the country.
Stars behind Shreyas Iyer’s fatal injury!
On the other hand, renowned astrologer Greenstone Lobo has given a unique twist to Shreyas Iyer’s recent health crisis. He claimed that his life-threatening injury was part of the planets’ movements rather than a misfortune on the field.
Lobo suggested that Iyer’s birth chart showed that this painful phase was destined, but the worst was now over. The sports astrologer explained that the weak Jupiter in Iyer’s ascendant, which influences the body, became active as the planet gained strength in his ninth house, which is associated with foreign lands, and that is why the incident happened in Australia.
Despite the worrying nature of Iyer’s injury, Lobo described it as a temporary setback rather than a long-term problem. He described the Sydney crash as a passing “karmic phase”, indicating that bad luck has finally gone. Lobo estimates that there will be no hindrance in Iyer’s recovery.

The astrologer also said that Pluto’s movement through the third house of Iyer, which rules the mind and focus, may have created emotional turmoil in recent months. However, this difficult phase is now over and Indian cricketers are ready for new strength and success ahead.
“He will be back soon, possibly by the IPL. This injury will not affect his skills, focus or leadership in any way. In fact, he will play a major role for India in the 2027 World Cup. Shreyas’s best years are still ahead of him,” The Times of India quoted Greenstone Lobo as saying.

Interestingly, Lobo also predicted India’s victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well as RCB’s historic IPL 2025 success. And recently, Lobo had suggested that this is the best chance for India women to defeat Australia in the semi-finals and win the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.
And India has already entered the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 after defeating Australia in the semi-finals on Thursday. Even Lobo described the appointment of Shubman Gill as India’s ODI captain as the second best thing to happen to Indian cricket.
