WATCH: Throwback to Phil Hughes' last innings in cricket, 63 not-out forever

The untimely death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes has left a huge void in the lives of many people, including his family members and teammates. November 27, 2024, is the tenth death anniversary of the player who was batting on 63* when a ball struck him which led to his untimely death.

Well, that incident shook the cricket world in 2014. Nobody expected something like this would happen and the bowler, Sean Abbot, who bowled the deadly ball was left stunned. The player faced a short-pitched delivery that hit him on the neck, and unexpectedly, he fell to the ground.

He was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital by the on-field members, where it was discovered that the ball hit the neck, which caused a rare vertebral artery dissection. This impacted his brain, leading to a brain haemorrhage. He was kept in the ICU for two days and went through various surgeries. However, nothing worked in his favour, and the cricketer left the world, leaving everyone in grief. 

The cricket fraternity mourned for the 25-year-old player who was extremely talented. He was playing a domestic Sheffield Shield match when this incident happened. After his death, many changes were made to the style of the helmet, with greater neck protection to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
