Since the unfortunate,
untimely and enormously saddening demise of 25-year old Australian
Cricket Star Phil Hughes, the global impact has been nothing short of
staggering. We still remember that agonizing movement when he collapsed
after getting struck with Sean Abbott’s lethal bouncer (In fact, as ardent Cricket fans, We will never forget that death-dealing Cricket
delivery for our whole lives.)

From our personal perspective, the death of this young country boy who chased Baggy Green
dreams has impacted our views on the game which we always thought was
simple and easy like majority of the spectators think. But after this
incident, We’ll always believe in the fact that a Batsman
is nothing less than a soldier defending the bullets coming swiftly
from the other end. Who would have ever thought that a bright and sunny
Tuesday morning will bring along an unforgettable calamity?

Talking about the tributes received from the whole Cricketing World as
well as die-hard cricket fans around the globe, we don’t think there
would be any person on this earth who wouldn’t have had tears in his/her
eyes. From the hierarchy of the Australian Cricket Board retiring
Hughes’ no. 64 jersey to changing the retiring score from 50 to 63 in
junior cricket, tributes to ‘Hughesy’ have been extensive. Perhaps one
of the most moving sentiments came from the Twitter trend ‘#putyourbatsout’, where people affected by this great loss placed their bats outside their doors with their caps draped over the handle.

After experiencing so many homages from every corner of the world to a supremely talented young man, I understood how ‘A Sport can connect people all around the world and affect them in different ways.’
Personally, I still can’t come over the fact that this young rising
talent is no more. Imagine, A cricketer at the peak of his game,
selected from his country to play at the number 3 spot in the upcoming
India vs Australia Series, the innings he was playing to comeback into
his beloved test team, cost him the terribly sad and ultimate price.

Another addition to this miserable incident is the rigorous
condition through which Sean Abbott is going through currently. Imagine
getting arrested for the crime you never committed, getting charged for
something which you never ordered, getting punished for the sin you
never ever thought of doing even in your wildest of dreams. Trust
me, no bowler bowls to kill someone and this was just another premium
bouncer which is taught to bowl in every Cricket Coaching Institute,
Schools, Academies, etc. I really hope Sean Abbott will swim his way to get back into the business. Because, Cricketing World has already lost a good batsman and now we can’t afford to lose a good bowler.

They say life is unfair and this incident proved it yet again. After
experiencing incidents like these, my mind automatically starts
questioning the existence of God but there’s nothing much we can do about it. ‘Birth’ and ‘Death’
is the part and parcel of the life, all we need to do is give our all
in to become a successful player before retiring from this world. No
doubt, the loss of Phil Joel Hughes can never be restored, but as they
say, the show must go on! We pray to God (If he really exists)
to give enough strength to Hughesy’s family, friends and every person
connected with his short and sweet journey of 25 years, which will
always be paused at the score of 63*. Rest In Peace Braz, thank you for all the moments you gave us to treasure for lifetime. We’ll miss you!
