Cricketers and fans together took to Twitter to show their support and empathy for Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes passed away on Thursday.

Hughes succumbed to injuries he endured when he was hit by a bouncer at the SCG on Tuesday. The 25-year-old South Australian batsman, who was pushing for a Test recall against India in Brisbane next week, was knocked out after the ball made impact under his helmet, behind his left ear.

Fans and cricketers took to social media to show their sympathy for the deceased cricketer and his family and friends.

Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh tweeted that his heart goes out to his family.

A shocked former Australian captain, Adam Gilchrist, also took to twitter to share his sympathy. 


South African all-rounder David Miller posted that it is a very sad news to wake up to. He added that his thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Hughes.

The Indian cricket board, BCCI, also showed their respect towards the deceased batsman. They posted that their condolences and prayers are with Hughes' family, adding that may the Australian's soul rest in peace.

The first Test between India and Australia is to get underway next week in Brisbane, but it hangs in the balance now that Hughes has passed away. The decision over the first match still needs to be announced though.
