Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday joined the cricket world to mourn the tragic death of young Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who passed away last Thursday after being hit by a bouncer. In a tribute to Hughes, who would have turned 26 last Sunday, Tendulkar wrote in his twitter page: “Will miss you Phil.
Your enthusiasm to learn and drive for perfection was most impressive. #FarewellHughes.” The 41-year-old Iconic batsman also posted a photograph of him along with Hughes, who was part of the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians in 2013. Former India skipper Anil Kumble also paid his tribute. “Phil Hughes RIP...#63notout cricket will miss you,” wrote the spin legend in the social networking site. Hughes was on Wednesday laid to rest in his home town, Macksville, in a funeral attended by thousands of friends, family, teammates and fans.
