“Dip finger in butter”: Amul topical on Ravindra Jadeja’s “Cream” incident

Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, who made a sensational comeback by taking five wickets and scoring 70 runs in the Nagpur Test between India and Australia, came under the scanner after applying “soothing cream” on his index finger. Following the incident, the all-rounder was fined 25 per cent of his match fee and was also given one demerit point by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Now, days after the incident, Amul has come up with a topical topic. The illustration shows the Amul girl and Jadeja, who is seen applying “butter” on his finger. The text on it reads, “Jaddu, just put your finger in the butter. [Jaddu, dip your finger only in butter, please.],

The dairy brand shared the topical with the note, “#Amul Topical: Star Indian all-rounder fined for applying cream on ball.” The post has been viewed over 600,000 times on the social media platform.

The “soothing cream” incident occurred in the 46th over of Australia’s first innings. In the clip, Ravindra Jadeja was seen applying a substance after taking it from teammate Mohammed Siraj. In a statement released on its website, ICC Said, “Ravindra Jadeja was found to have breached Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to displaying conduct contrary to the spirit of the game.”

Meanwhile, the Indian team management has clarified that Ravindra Jadeja used this cream for medical reasons. “The Indian team management had explained that the finger spinner was applying cream for inflammation on the index finger of his bowling hand. This was done without seeking permission from the on-field umpires,” the statement said.

India is leading 1-0 in the four-match Test series. The second Test is to begin in Delhi from 17 February.
