‘Pain was excruciating, horrendous’: Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer

Pain, often excruciating, was Shreyas Iyer’s constant companion as he dealt with a back injury, and when it refused to subside even after undergoing surgery, he “panicked” thinking that his career could be on the line. However, the 28-year-old stylish batter eventually recovered and returned to the Indian team for the upcoming Asia Cup.

Recalling the days of his struggles because of the injury, Iyer told the BCCI: “I had this nerve compression, basically a slip disc, which was compressing the nerve, and the pain was going all the way down to the bottom of my tiny toe. And, it was horrendous then. I was in excruciating pain. I wasn’t able to express myself properly about what I’m going through.


“This was the feeling that I was having then and it was hard to communicate with everyone. I had this issue for a while, but I was taking injections, and I was going through various routes to see that I am steady,” he said.
