This year, Symonds is the third former Australian cricket player, after Shane Warne and Rod Marsh, who passed away.

Amul paid homage to Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds who passed away on May 14 at the age of 46.

Symonds, affectionately known as ‘Roy’ amongst his teammates, succumbed to injuries after a single-vehicle car crash. The fatal accident took place 50 kilometres outside Townsville in Queensland, Australia.

The topical reads: “He Symmolised the game…” and “Andrew Symonds, 1975-2022”. The graphic was simply captioned, “#Amul Topical: Tribute to charismatic Australian all-rounder…”. The topical has so far gathered over 2,000 likes on Instagram and over 900 likes on Twitter.

This is not the first time that Amul featured Symonds in their topicals. In February 2008, Amul addressed the infamous ‘Monkeygate Scandal’ in which Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh allegedly hurled racist abuse at Symonds and called him a ‘monkey’.

Despite their on-field altercations, Singh and Symonds both resolved their differences. After the news of Symond’s death was made public, Singh tweeted, “Shocked to hear about the sudden demise of Andrew Symonds. Gone too soon. Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Prayers for the departed soul 🙏 #RIPSymonds”.
