Amul takes satirical dig at Steve Smith DRS fiasco

Dairy brand Amul is known for coming up with witty and satirical cartoons based on the most trending events. Over the last couple of days, arguably the most talked about topic has been Australian skipper Steve Smith’s embarrassing DRS moment. The second Test between India v Australia at Bengaluru turned out to a thoroughly exciting contest. However, on the day 4 of the Test, a bizarre incident left Virat Kohli fuming.

Aussie skipper Steve Smith was given out by the on-field umpire. Smith walked down to the non-striker batsman Peter Handscomb and asked him for his suggestion over whether they should go for a review or not. Both batsmen could not come to a conclusion and stood perplexed.

It was just then that Smith was seen looking towards the dressing room trying to seek some help over his referral. Indian skipper Kohli was quick to correct him and umpire Nigel Llong intervened as well. Smith then made the long walk back to the pavilion. After the match, the Indian skipper was left totally unimpressed with the entire scene. He blasted his opposition counterpart and had almost called him a cheater.

Steve Smith, in his conference, admitted his mistake and called it a moment of ‘brain fade’ for him. Peter Handscomb also took the blame for the entire scene. Meanwhile, the BCCI registered an official complaint against Smith for violating the laws of DRS but only to withdraw their complaint on the same day after talks with Cricket Australia (CA).

Now, Amul had the most perfect satirical description of the entire scene. They have titled it as ‘Indecision Review System’. The umpire and the batsman can be seen looking at one another in the cartoon poster. They did not forget to add the description that reads, “Amul won’t give you a brain fade”. The company certainly knows how to market well and keep the fans entertained.
