Quetta Gladiators' wicketkeeper, Sarfaraz Ahmed, collapsed on the ground during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against Multan Sultans after being struck on the head by a celebration throw from his teammate, Mohammad Wasim Jr.
The shocking accident occurred after Wasim Jr caught an attempted six by Multan's Reeza Hendricks and threw the ball into the air, accidentally hitting the former Pakistan captain on the head. The impact of the landing was severe, causing Sarfaraz to collapse on the field. He later left the field for immediate medical attention.
