Former South African captain Faf du Plessis was taken to hospital today after suffering a nasty head clash while playing for Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League.
The incident occurred during the Gladiators' clash with the Peshawar Zalmi at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Du Plessis' and Mohammad Hasnain came together in the outfield, with the South African making a diving attempt at the boundary line before he collided with the knee of his teammate.
The head clash resulted in du Plessis being knocked out and stuck lying helpless on the turf before physios rushed to his aid.
He eventually got to his feet but was taken to hospital shortly after for further testing.

Meanwhile, South Africa's David Miller smacked a robust half-century and led Peshawar Zalmi to an emphatic 61-run win over the depleted Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League on Saturday.
Left-handed Miller hit 73 off 46 balls and West Indian Rovman Powell provided an ideal flourish with a quickfire 43 off 19 balls to propel Peshawar to 197-5.
Quetta skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed top-scored in the reply with 36, but his team lost wickets in clusters against the pace trio of Mohammad Irfan (3-27), Umaid Asif (2-17), and captain Wahab Riaz (2-20) to fall well short at 136-9. Five Quetta batsmen went for ducks.
