Medical examinations showed a laceration injury to the abdominal organ. He is under medical care, medically stable, and recovering well.
Medical Response
After receiving on-field treatment, the batter did not return in the game, which India secured victory by nine wickets. Australia had already won the tournament with wins in the first two matches played in Perth and Adelaide.
The situation was reportedly "life threatening at that moment," according to news sources.
