Kyle Jamieson penalised for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's wicket celebration

Kyle Jamieson has been penalised for celebrating aggressively against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Jamieson was found guilty of having breached Article 2.5 of the IPL's Code of Conduct, which pertains to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player in the match."

Consequently, the Kiwi pacer has aggregated a demerit point and also received a warning for breaching Level 1 of the IPL's Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials. The incident unfolded in match No. 43 of the ongoing IPL season between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Jamieson, who is representing Capitals, bowled a 135kph fullish delivery to Sooryavanshi in the second over of the match. The southpaw tried to pierce the gap through the covers while driving but ended up inside-edging it onto his stumps.

Jamieson seemed overjoyed with the wicket as he celebrated by pumping his fist while charging down the wicket and maintaining a fierce eye contact with Sooryavanshi.

"Article 2.5 includes any language, action or gesture used by a Player and directed towards a batter upon his/her dismissal which has the potential to provoke an aggressive reaction from the dismissed batter, whether or not any reaction results, or which could be considered to disparage or demean the dismissed batter, regardless of whether the batter him/herself feels disparaged or demeaned (in other words, a ‘send-off’)," reads the law.

"Without limitation, Article 2.5 includes: (a) excessive celebration directed at and in close proximity to the dismissed batter; (b) verbally abusing the dismissed batter; and (c) pointing or gesturing towards the pavilion."

I don't think I've ever been so fearful of a 15-year-old kid in my life: Kyle Jamieson on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Jamieson also opened up on bowling to Sooryavanshi after Delhi's seven-wicket win at the Sawai Mansingh in Jaipur. Sooryavanshi was his solitary wicket in the game as he finished with match figures of 1/48 in four overs.

"I don't think I've ever been so fearful of a 15-year-old kid in my life," Jamieson said in a post-match video uploaded by the IPL across social media platforms.
