Remembering the batsmen, tributes poured from the world over on Twitter and Instagram.
Fans, cricketers and administrators remembered Player No 408 as #63 was trending through the morning.
Banned Aussie opener David Warner wrote on Instagram: "Always in our thoughts, we miss you bruz. #408."
Former Australia paceman Mitchell Johnson wrote on his Instagram page: Always in our thoughts, miss you buddy #408."
The tweet from the official handle of the Sydney Cricket Ground read: "Phillip Hughes, forever in the heart and soul of the @SCG. #63notout."
Journalist David Sigston wrote of the late batsman: "I still miss watching this legend absolutely carve up attacks. Those ridiculous swashbuckling cuts & smoking drives were a sight to behold and, not for nothing, he did it all with a smile on his face. #408 #63notout."
Australian TV presenter Neroli Meadows summed up the man: "The thing about Phil Hughes - almost every player I spoke to thought he was their best mate. That’s how he made people feel.
He was so special on the ground & off it. It never gets any easier to comprehend.
Thoughts with all his mates & family, four years on. #63notout."
Hughes was struck on the head by a short-pitched delivery from New South Wales paceman Sean Abbott, a devastating blow that experts compared to the trauma suffered by car crash victims.
After being treated at the stadium, Hughes, who played 26 Tests and 25 one-day internationals, was rushed to hospital to have emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. He eventually died two days later.
