Shreyas Iyer injury update: Delhi Capitals skipper to undergo shoulder surgery after April first week

Shreyas Iyer had hurt his left shoulder while fielding during England's run chase in the first ODI and did not take any further part in the match which India won by 66 runs on March 23 in Pune.

In a major setback for the Delhi Capitals, their captain Shreyas Iyer is most certain to miss the entire season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the 1st ODI against England on Tuesday. Absolutely devastated and gutted for our skipper @ShreyasIyer15 - stay strong captain - hope for a very quick recovery. Have full faith that you will come back even stronger from this. India needs you in the T20 World Cup. @DelhiCapitals @BCCI India Today has learnt that Shreyas Iyer will need surgery on his left shoulder and will go under the knife after the first week of April. The 26-year-old will be out of action for at least 4-5 months and won't be seen on the field before September. "Not just the IPL (2021), I think Shreyas will take about 4-5 months for recovery. So a realistic assessment will be the home T20 series against New Zealand and South Africa in September.
