Meanwhile, Iyer is currently out of danger and is on the road to recovery. While there is no confirmation over when he makes it back, it is understood that the Indian board is making arrangements so that Iyer's sister Sreshtha can travel to Sydney and be her brother. 

At the pre-match presser ahead of the T20I series Suryakumar provided an update on Iyer when asked: “When I got to know about his injury, I called our physio Kamlesh Jain. Iyer has been replying on the phone now, which means he is stable.”

“It’s unfortunate what happened, and such cases are rare. But rare things happen to rare talent like Shreyas Iyer. By God’s grace, everything is fine. We’ll take him back home after the series,” he added.

Suryakumar is one of the most feared T20I batters in the world, but off late the former No. 1 has not been able to get the big runs or make an impact with the bat. 

He would like to change that in the five-match series as that would help his confidence ahead of the much-awaited T20 WC in 2026.
