The sudden demise of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes has not only shaken the cricket world but our Bollywood stars too.

Many took on to Twitter to express grief over this unforeseen incident:

Rahul Bose: Just heard the tragic news. #PhilHughes this is the first fatality in the sport I am hearing of after Raman Lamba. A sad day for cricket. Coming as I do from a sport where death is a clear if very remote possibility #rugby seems crazy for someone to lose one's life in cricket. Let us resolve to stand by Sean Abbott too, at this time. It's a sport and he mustn't blame himself for what happened. #RIPPhilHughes

Arbaaz Khan: Extremely saddened by the news that Australian cricketer Phil Hughes passes away after being struck by a bouncer. RIP Phil Hughes.

At the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday, during the match between South Australia and New South Wales, Hughes who was batting, got hit on his head by a bowler causing his skull to fracture and suffer internal bleeding in his brain. Despite being rushed in for surgery, he succumbed without regaining consciousness.

Too sudden and too soon, this proves to remind us how fragile and unpredictable life is.

RIP Hughes, you will be deeply missed!
