In a recent Indian Premier League match, Delhi Capitals bowler Kyle Jamieson was penalized with one demerit point for his heated send-off directed at Rajasthan Royals' young talent, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

According to an official IPL announcement, "Kyle Jamieson has been assigned one demerit point and issued a warning for violating Level 1 of the IPL's Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials during Match No. 43 against Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur."
