Jamieson clapped aggressively and walked towards the batter, making eye contact in a manner that was deemed confrontational. Given the age of the dismissed batter, the send-off drew criticism for being excessive.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The IPL subsequently handed Jamieson a demerit point along with an official warning for breaching the Code of Conduct during Match No. 43. The New Zealand quick was found guilty of a Level 1 offence under Article 2.5, which relates to \u201cusing language, actions or gestures which disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player.\u201d Jamieson admitted to the charge and accepted the sanction imposed by match referee Rajeev Seth.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Despite the reprimand, Ferguson defended his teammate, emphasising that such displays of emotion are part of the game.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cKyle\u2019s a good mate of mine. He got pretty fired up, which is pretty understandable. Not easy to get wickets in this part of the world, and that was a big one. So I think it\u2019s part of the game. I think fans like to see the passion. I can\u2019t comment on anything from a governing body point of view, but as a player, I think the passion coming out is great for the game. As a fan of the game, you like to see players getting passionate, players showing emotion, players being excited to take a wicket\u2026 he\u2019s obviously a big guy too, so when a big guy has a lot of emotions, it looks even bigger.<!-- -->\u201d Lockie Ferguson told to India Today on Kyle Jamieson\u2019s reaction. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/its-part-of-the-game-lockie-ferguson-backs-kyle-jamieson-over-send-off-to-vaibhav-sooryavanshi\/articleshow\/130727729.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ferguson on Jamieson\u2019s Send-Off to Sooryavanshi Lockie Ferguson has come out in support of his teammate Kyle Jamieson after the Delhi Capitals pacer was cautioned by the IPL for his animated send-off to teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.The incident took place early in Rajasthan Royals\u2019 innings during their clash against Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
