It was a Sheffield Shield match between South Australia and New South Wales in Sydney. South Australia was on a good tempo as their opener Phil Hughes had scored 63 runs in 161 balls with the help of runs from Mark Cosgrove and Callum Ferguson from the other end.

Sean Abbott, a quick pacer, bowled a short ball to Phillip Hughes. The impact of the ball was so mighty that the batter could not recover from the blow. The batter was taken to scans and was hospitalized. In unfortunate news, Hughes was declared dead, which shook the cricket world.

The Australian cricketers attended the funeral of the cricketer and lifted the coffin of their dear friend, who remained not out on 63 forever. The image of Aaron Finch, Michael Clarke, and other cricketers crying during the funeral can break the hearts of any cricket fan.
