“We spoke to him at least on the first day when we got to know that he had an injury. I called him first. Then I found out that he didn’t have a phone. So I called the physio, Kamlesh," Suryakumar said while speaking at the pre-match press conference.

“He told me that he (Iyer) is stable. On the first day, I don’t know how, but he was looking good. We have been talking for two days now. He has been replying. If he is replying on the phone, it means he is stable," Suryakumar added.
