Image Credits: AFP/APIn a significant development, the BCCI has penalised New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson for wildly celebrating Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's dismissal in the RR Vs DC IPL 2026 match. Led by Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals swatted aside Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets, with KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka powering them to a historic run chase. Batting first, the Royals posted a massive total of 225 runs, riding on Riyan Parag's sensational 50-ball 90. However, the Capitals' batting unit fired on all cylinders, with Rahul and Nissanka's power-packed knocks helping them get past the finish line. However, besides the exploits from the batters of both teams, an incident that grabbed the attention of fans was Kyle Jamieson's angry celebration after getting the prized scalp of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The fast bowler's gesture didn't go unnoticed by the BCCI, as the Indian cricket board punished him after the match. BCCI punishes Kyle Jamieson for wild celebration against Vaibhav SooryavanshiThe incident happened in the second over of the Royals' innings after Riyan Parag won the toss and elected to bat. After conceding a boundary, Kyle Jamieson came around the wicket and bowled an in-swinging delivery that breached Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's defence and shattered the timber. It was a yorker and came into Sooryavanshi, who failed to tackle the swing and missed the ball completely. Considering he's in red-hot form, the southpaw's wicket was crucial for the touring party. Therefore, considering the importance of the breakthrough, Kyle Jamieson aggressively ran towards the 15-year-old batter and gave him a brutal send-off as soon as he dismissed Sooryavanshi.

Therefore, the BCCI took strict action against Kyle Jamieson, sanctioning him with one demerit point after the match concluded. The DC fast bowler was also given a warning, although no financial sanction was imposed on him for his on-field conduct. Kyle Jamieson bowls an expensive spell against RRDespite dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi early in the innings, Jamieson finished his spell with middling numbers.
