Relief for fans as Shreyas Iyer, who was injured in abdomen during Australia ODIs, discharged from hospital

"He is now stable and recovering well. The BCCI Medical Team, along with specialists in Sydney and India, are pleased with his recovery, and he has been discharged from the hospital today," the Indian cricket board said in a statement.
