Shreyas Iyer's Sister's Heartfelt Birthday Wish
6 Dec
Summary
- Shresta Iyer posted a heartfelt birthday message for her brother.
- Iyer was the highest run-getter for India in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
- Iyer is recovering from a life-threatening spleen injury.
Team India batter Shreyas Iyer celebrated his 31st birthday on December 6, 2025, with a special message from his sister, Shresta Iyer. She took to Instagram to share heartwarming pictures, including a memorable shot from the 2025 Champions Trophy final, where Iyer wore his India jersey and the coveted winners' medal.
Iyer played a pivotal role in India's 2025 Champions Trophy triumph, emerging as the team's leading run-scorer with 243 runs across five matches. His performance included two half-centuries, averaging 48.60. This birthday comes as Iyer focuses on his rehabilitation following a serious abdominal injury, which included a lacerated spleen and internal bleeding, sustained during the recent tour of Australia.
The injury required immediate surgery in Sydney and has ruled him out of the ongoing home ODI series against South Africa. While Iyer has commenced his recovery process, the severity of his injury means he is expected to be sidelined for a significant duration, with a potential return to cricket anticipated for the IPL 2026 season.
