Phillip Hughes: A hero who left too early

Phillip Hughes: A hero who left too early

The humans have made several innovations and discovery but their life still remains in the hands of almighty. No matter what science says about the world, the god is the ultimate decider. Phillip Hughes, the supremely talented cricketer from Australia, had to bid adieu to his life after being struck on his neck by a bouncer from Sean Abbott.  The left hand batsman was batting on 63 when this unfortunate incident took place on 25th November. He was admitted to one of the hospitals in Sydney but doctors couldn't save him as he lost his battle on 27th November.  The sudden demise of a 25 year old has left the whole world in shock including his family, friends and Australian team-mates.  

The Aussie cricket team is finding hard to deal with this occurrence. The players are shattered and broken  and the first Test match with the Indian team could be cancelled or shift forward. From David Warner to captain Michael Clarke, there is hardly anyone in Australia who has not cried since Phillip Hughes left the world. He was a brilliant cricketer in all formats of the game. 

After scorings runs in the domestic cricket, he was called up to replace Mathew Hayden on Australia's tour of South Africa in 2009. He was dismissed for a duck in his first Test innings off Dale Steyn's bowling but went on to scored 75 in the second one. This young man scored his maiden Test hundred in the first innings of the second Test match against the same team. He was not finished with this as he accumulated another ton in the second innings thus becoming the youngest player from any country to score a century in both innings of a Test match. However, he couldn't built on such fabulous start and was in and out of the team on account of poor form. He was part of 26 Test matches for the Aussie team, scoring 1535 runs with the help of three centuries and seven half centuries.  

Hughes also played in 25 ODIs where he added 826 runs to his name.  He scored two centuries and five half-centuries in this version of the game as well. It will be wise to say that his best was about to come as he was showing promising signs in the domestic circuit but god was not willing him to carry on in the worldly life so he took him away from all of us. I don't have words to describe the feeling right now as his death has led to one of the saddest day in the history of cricket. 

The world is busy in paying tribute to him but this won't bring him back. The bats have been placed outside the cricket grounds while cricketers from every region are wearing black armbands to be a part of this loss but the damage has been done. Let's pray for him and his family, who have lost their young warrior. Rest in peace Phillip Hughes.
