Jamieson Gets Demerit Point for Send-Off to 15-Year-Old in IPL

The caution signals how the league is policing provocative celebrations toward young players.

Overview

  • Kyle Jamieson received a Level 1 code-of-conduct penalty for his celebration, with the IPL issuing one demerit point and an official warning.
  • After Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit his first ball for four, Jamieson bowled him next delivery and clapped aggressively at close range in a fiery send-off.
  • Jamieson later said he had never been so fearful of a 15-year-old and credited the youngster’s calm approach at the crease.
  • New Zealand quicks Lockie Ferguson and Mitchell McClenaghan defended the reaction as a natural show of emotion in a key moment.
  • The incident came in a high-scoring game that Delhi Capitals won by chasing 226 for a seven-wicket victory, their best-ever successful pursuit in the IPL.
