Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Faf du Plessis has been subject to a lot of criticism following his recent gesture.
Du Plessis stirred controversy among RCB fans after commenting on Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) Instagram post on Monday, April 8.

Ahead of CSK's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday, the five-time champions uploaded a carousel post reminiscing some of the most memorable knocks by CSK batsmen against KKR.
Below the post, Du Plessis commented with a 'wink' emoji. Before joining RCB in 2022, the former South African cricketer was a part of the CSK setup since 2012 (barring the 2016 and 2017 seasons when he was with Rising Pune Supergiants).
Du Plessis scored a match-winning knock of 86 runs in the IPL 2021 final against KKR, helping CSK win their fourth title at the time.
However, the 39-year-old's sweet exchange with CSK was a bitter pill to swallow for the RCB supporters, who took to social media to criticise their captain.

When your captain is not even connected to your franchise it's bound to be doomed, Really poor decision to make him captain.

Given how the season is gone him doing this will only make fans angry..

Making him the captain was a clownish decision. Why would you make a 38 y/o OS player your captain who's towards the end of his career. There were better options available. But instead of going forward, RCB took a step backwards by making him the captain.

I've said this right after the first match of this season. A guy is giving his heart & soul to this franchise to win the trophy meanwhile their shameless captain is happy losing 4 out of 5 games after performing absolutely sh!t with the bat & let's not talk about captaincy
