Earlier, Du Plessis’s wife Imri Visser had expressed concern for her husband after the South African legend was injured on the field. Imari, who has been married to a Proteas cricketer since November 2013, said her husband should be treated in a hospital.

Imari Visser took to her Instagram story and wrote, “This is killing me right now. Surely he should be checked in hospital?!??”

Quetta Gladiators used a concussion substitute in a second successive match in PSL after West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell was hit on the helmet by a bouncer from Mohammad Musa. Saim Ayub was then roped in as Faf’s concussion substitute for the match against Peshawar Zalmi.
