In a scary development in the cricketing world, South Africa batsman Faf du Plessis was rushed to the hospital after he collided with Mohammad Hasnain during a PSL match. 

The incident took place during the match between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
