Amul Shares Doodle As Ravindra Jadeja Gets Fined For Applying Cream On Finger

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday handed Ravindra Jadeja a fine of 25 percent of his match fee and even awarded the cricketer a demerit point for applying a soothing cream on his index finger without informing the on-field umpire during Day 1 of the first Test match between India and Australia. The incident caused a lot of controversy on social media. Now, Amul has also shared a doodle featuring none other than Jadeja. 

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Amul shared the image which showed the all-rounder Indian cricketer standing next to the Amul girl caressing his finger. "Topical: Star Indian all-rounder fined for applying cream on the ball," the post's caption read. "Jaadu, ungli sirf butter mein daalo (Put your finger only in butter)," read the text inscribed on the graphic.

The Cricketer was seen taking a substance from Mohammed Siraj's palm and rubbing it onto the index finger of his left hand. While the incident caused a lot of controversies, the ICC made it clear that the cream was actually used for completely medical reasons. The ICC also debunked theories put forwards by former cricketers who alleged that the cream can be associated with tampering with the condition of the match ball. 

The cream was not applied as an artificial substance to the ball and consequently, it did not change the condition of the ball, the ICC stated.
