Why is November 27th Called Cricket History’s Black Day? A Major Accident Occurred in Sydney

In 2014, a 4-Test match series was played between India and Australia. An incident occurred during that tour that cricket fans will perhaps never forget. Before the Test series, which was scheduled to begin on December 9, Australia’s emerging star batsman Phil Hughes died after being hit by a ball on his head during a match. The match between South Australia and New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield began on November 25, 2014, at the Sydney Cricket Ground. On the third day of the game, a ball from Sean Abbott hit Phil Hughes on the neck, and he bid farewell to the world on the cricket pitch itself.
