UAE: West Indies all-rounder, Andre Russell who is currently playing with Quetta Gladiators has been hit on the head while playing against Islamabad United. He continued batting even after getting hit on the head. 

Dre Russ, as he is fondly called came in to bat for Quetta Gladiators at number six. He hit two back-to-back sixes and was 13 runs in 4 balls. But then, Musa Khan bowled a bouncer that hit Russell's head. He decided to continue after the mandatory concussion check but got out the very next ball. 

Take a look at the sixes hit by Dre Russ and the ball that hit him on the helmet:

After the incident, Andre Russell went into the pavilion, but he was seen taken to the hospital during the first over of Islamabad United innings. So far, there has been no update on the injury of Andre Russell. 

After Andre Russell's injury, he was replaced by Naseem Shah. 

The Pakistan Super League's sixth season resumed on June 9. On Friday, Quetta Gladiators played against Islamabad United. Quetta scored 133 runs in the first innings. But courtesy of Colin Munro's super-fast 90*, Islamabad chased the target down in just 10 overs. The overseas batting pair of Usman Khawaja and Munro piled on 137 runs for the first wicket. 

Munro was adjudged Man of the match for his solid batting performance. He said: " I think we assessed the conditions well. The wicket today got better and it was a good toss to win. In the first game, we didn't give ourselves the time to build an innings. The ball did get wetter later on and that allowed it to skid on. We definitely had the better batting conditions."
