Sean Abbott: The New South Wales bowler struck Phil Hughes on the neck with a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield game, which eventually led to the Australian batsman’s untimely death. Post the tragedy, Abbott was reportedly struggling mentally, and had to be given excessive counseling, even as the entire cricketing fraternity stood behind him. It is credit to his mental strength that he has since returned to the playing field, and is currently part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.

Mehrab Hossain: The Bangladesh batsman’s shot struck the late Raman Lamba the temple and rebounded to wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud during a club match at Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1998. Raman, who wasn’t wearing a helmet, walked off the field never to return to play his much-loved sport. Hossain went on to play 9 Tests and 18 ODIs for Bangladesh. In an interview in 2014, he recalled about the tragic incident, “I shall never forget that fateful day in my life. It took more than a week for me to come out of the shock and it was hard for my family members and friends to persuade me not to feel guilty about the incident. But how could I forget it so easily?”
