The IPL 2023 turned out to be yet another disappointing season for RCB. The team was on the brink of qualifying for the Playoffs stage but the inability to get the better of Gujarat Titans on the final day of the league stage put curtains on the campaign of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Following the crushing loss and the eventual eviction, Dinesh Karthik has shared a post on social media expressing the gratitude to the fans for their constant support. However, the users apparently haven't taken the post on a positive note and in turn began to troll the player.

Dinesh Karthik has been constantly criticised by the fans for not playing up his potential this season. As a lower-order player who usually came at number 6 to give a blistering finish, Dinesh Karthik could only amass 140 runs at an average of 11.67 in IPL 2023. Moreover, the player has received a stick for wicketkeeping blunders as well. Thus, when he shared a post related to "not living up the expectations.." it did not land well among many fans.
