#1 NZ pays tribute to late Phillip Hughes

<p>

The accidental demise of former Australian opener Phillip Hughes left whole cricket fraternity in dismal. The trend of #keepyoubatsout became a movement across the globe with fans and cricketers posting pictures of their bats out as a tribute to the deceased cricketer.

Another touching gesture was by New Zealand Men's Cricket Team. New Zealand was playing the second test of the series against Pakistan. The Kiwis needed to win the match to level the series, despite that they decided not to bowl bouncers in the match as they were taken aback by the on-field death of Phillip Hughes.

Even, Brendon Mccullum and Kane Williamson did not celebrate their double-centuries. New Zealand players wore black bands with P.H. written on their jerseys.
