Several fans have called his gesture 'obscene'. Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Sidhu has also slammed the Australian batter.
"Travis head's obnoxious behaviour during the course of the Melbourne test doesn't auger well for the gentleman's game...... sets the worst possible example when there are kids, women, young & old watching the game....... this caustic conduct did not insult an individual but a nation of 1.5 billion Indians......stringent punishment that would serve a deterrent for the future generations needs to be slapped on him so that no one dares follow suit !!!," Sidhu posted on X.
