It was reported that Shreyas has not suffered from a bone fracture, but he had a laceration to the spleen due to which he was admitted into the ICU at Sydney and was kept under observation, only to recover from his internal bleeding.

Gautam Gambhir backs the Indian T20I skipper amid a lack of form
Gautam Gambhir has supported the 'free-spirited' off-field personality of the Indian T20I skipper and has said that his adoption of this form of gameplay has given the other youngsters in the team the freedom to play their game.
On Monday, coach Gautam Gambhir backed the T20 skipper. “Honestly, Surya’s batting form doesn’t concern me because we have committed to an ultra-aggressive template in our dressing room. When you embrace this philosophy, failures are inevitable,” he said during a discussion on JioHotstar.
