Former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds died in a car accident on Saturday. The 46-year-old cricketer reportedly died after his car rammed into the road in the Townsville area of Queensland, Australia. The news comes months after the deaths of Symonds’ fellow cricketers Shane Warne and Rod Marsh. The tragic incident has left the sports world and cricket lovers in shock, with tributes pouring in from across the world. Popular FMGC brand Amul also took to its social media to pay tribute to the late cricket star, who was fondly called ‘Roy’ by his peers.
Amul recently shared a post on Andrew Symonds on Twitter and Instagram which shows him in his all-round avatar. In the post, we can see Symonds with his three iconic poses while batting, bowling and fielding. “He epitomized the sport … Andrew Symonds 1975-2022,” reads the topical. Amul further wrote, “#Amul Topical: Tribute to the charismatic Australian all-rounder…”, along with the black and white post. Have a look:
Amul’s post garnered over 78k likes on Instagram and over 4200k likes on Twitter. People also commented on the post and paid tribute to the late cricketer. “Relax legend,” read one comment. Another person wrote, “Om Shanti.” Another comment read, “RIP ROY”.
This is not the first time that Amul has shared an emotional, monochromatic topic on its social media. Earlier, the brand had paid tribute to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar with a black and white doodle after her demise in February 2022. The doodle depicted him at different stages of life and captioned it, “Hum jahan jahan chaulna, aapka saaya saath hoga.”. The caption is inspired by the late Lata Mangeshkar’s iconic song ‘Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega, Mera Saaya Saath Hoga’ from the 1966 film ‘Mera Saaya’. Find Amul Topicals Here:

The brand further wrote, “#Amul Topical: Tribute to one of India’s most dynamic and respected industrialists.”
