ABU DHABI: Quetta Gladiators batsman Faf du Plessis said he suffered some memory loss after sustaining a concussion during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) T20 match in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
The South African cricketer collided with teammate Mohammad Hasnain while trying to save a boundary in their 61-run defeat to Peshawar Zalmi. He lay prone on the ground while the Gladiators physio attended him before he got up and was taken to hospital.
Taking to Twitter, the 36-year-old said, “Thank you everyone for all the messages of support. I’m back at the hotel recovering. Have concussion with some memory loss but I will be fine. Hopefully be back on the field soon.”

The Gladiators also had to use a concussion substitute in their previous match when West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell was hit on his helmet by a Mohammad Musa bouncer in the match against Islamabad United.
After being struck, Russell was checked by a physio and allowed to continue batting, although he was out next ball, caught at third man. Russell was stretchered out from the dressing room to an ambulance.
