On social media, South African batsman Faf du Plessis provided a major update on his health. He said he is recovering well from the concussion he suffered in Saturday's Pakistan Super League match against Peshawar Zalmi.
In a 61-run loss to Peshawar in Abu Dhabi, Du Plessis collided with Quetta Gladiators teammate Mohammad Hasnain while attempting to rescue a boundary. He smacked his head on Hasnain's knee and went to the ground, where the Gladiators' physio attended to him before he got up and was transported to the hospital.
On Sunday, the Proteas player thanked his supporters for their unwavering support on Twitter.
"Thank you everyone for all the messages of support. I'm back at the hotel recovering. Have a concussion with some memory loss but I will be fine. Hopefully, be back on the field soon. Much love," tweeted du Plessis.
As a concussion replacement, opener Saim Ayub took over for du Plessis. When West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell was hit on the helmet by a Mohammad Musa bouncer in the match against Islamabad United, the Gladiators had to employ a concussion substitution.
Russell was given permission to bat when a physio examined him out, but he was bowled the next ball. He was rushed to the hospital, and Naseem Shah was brought in as a concussion replacement.
