Amul posts doodle after Ravindra Jadeja penalised for putting cream on his finger

Amul has now posted a doodle that features none other than Ravindra Jadeja after ointment controversy in the first test match between India and Australia. The International Cricket Council (ICC) fined Ravindra Jadeja 25 per cent of his match fee and gave him a demerit point on Saturday for putting a soothing cream on his index finger without telling the on-field umpire during the first Test match between India and Australia. The event sparked a lot of debate on social media.

Amul published a photograph of the all-rounder Indian cricketer standing next to the Amul girl touching his finger on Twitter on Sunday. They captioned its “Topical: Star Indian all-rounder fined for applying cream on the ball. Jaadu Put your finger only in butter”.




The doodle has received over 6,600 likes and over 5,77,000 views since it was uploaded.

The cricketer was spotted taking a material off Mohammed Siraj’s hand and smearing it on his left index finger. While the event sparked several debates, the ICC clarified that the cream was used for entirely medicinal purposes. The ICC also refuted allegations advanced by former cricketers that the cream was involved in tampering with the state of the match ball.

According to the ICC's official website, Jadeja was accused of having violated Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.
