Earlier, a report claimed that Jaiswal "ate something" in the hotel where he was staying, which resulted in the complication.

"It is food poisoning. He ate something in the Pune hotel, which has led to this. There was pain, but his condition is much better after timely medication. He has lost over 2 kg already in the last two days, and the doctors have asked him to rest for at least the next 7-10 days," TOI quoted a source as saying.

Jaiswal might have to miss the first few rounds of matches in the domestic one-dayer Vijay Hazare Trophy, which starts on December 24.

"It will be touch and go for the first few matches for him to turn up for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. There are ODIs vs New Zealand after that too, and he is likely to be in the squad for that series," the source added.

Jaiswal had been suffering from stomach cramps throughout the SMAT game, and his condition worsened after the match.

At the hospital, he underwent an ultrasound and a CT scan and received proper medical attention. He was later advised to continue his medication and take adequate rest.
