Delhi Capitals pacer Kyle Jamieson has landed himself in trouble for the fiery send-off he gave to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi during the game in Jaipur on Friday, May 1. Jamieson was given a warning and one demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the IPL’s Code Of Conduct for players and team officials.

The incident took place in the second over of the game, as the RR opener once again showed no fear and took on the New Zealand pacer in the very first delivery he faced against him and got a boundary. Jamieson didn’t let the early hit faze him. He held his line and lengths, kept it tight, and struck back almost instantly—nailing a pinpoint yorker that beat Sooryavanshi and cut short the teenager’s stay before he could get going.
Clearly pumped after the wicket, Jamieson wheeled around in celebration and locked eyes with Sooryavanshi on his way back, his intense stare adding bite to the early breakthrough.
“Kyle Jamieson, Bowler, Delhi Capitals, has accumulated one Demerit Point and received a warning for breaching Level 1 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials during Match No. 43 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.”
“Jamieson was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which relates to using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player in the match.”
“The incident occurred in the second over of the first innings, when, after dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Jamieson was found to be close to him in an aggressive manner, which could have provoked an aggressive reaction from the batter,” read the statement from IPL.
Jamieson acknowledged the breach and accepted the penalty handed down by match referee Rajeev Seth.
FANS, EX-CRICKETER UNHAPPY WITH JAMIESON
Jamieson’s animated celebration quickly sparked chatter on social media, with many fans taken aback by the intensity of his reaction to dismissing a 15-year-old.
Several responses highlighted how uncharacteristic that aggression was from him, while others felt the send-off only underlined Sooryavanshi’s growing stature and presence at such a young age.
Priyank Panchal was one of them, saying that Jamieson’s celebration wasn’t a pretty sight. However, he said that it also showed the fear Sooryavanshi has instilled in bowlers and teams in the IPL.
“31-year-old Kyle Jamieson giving a 15-year-old kid a send off after dismissing him. Does not make for a pretty sight. But also shows how much of an impact and fear Vaibhav has instilled amongst the opponents already,” said Panchal on X.
The reverse fixture between both sides will be on May 17 in Delhi and the fans are already expecting Sooryavanshi to take revenge on Jamieson during the match.
