Kyle Jamieson made an immediate impact for Delhi Capitals, providing a much-needed breakthrough and following it up with a fiery send-off to Rajasthan Royals youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Jaipur on Friday, May 1.
Sooryavanshi, already known for his fearless approach against high-quality pace, started confidently by finding the boundary off the first ball he faced at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. It briefly hinted at another attacking knock from the teenager.
Jamieson, however, responded with precision. Sticking to disciplined lengths and denying room, the New Zealander struck back immediately with a well-executed yorker that beat Sooryavanshi and cut short his stay. It was a timely intervention for Delhi, who had been searching for early control.
The wicket was followed by a moment that drew as much attention as the dismissal itself. Jamieson, visibly charged, turned towards the batter and held a firm stare during his celebration, adding extra intensity to the contest.
Delhi Capitals carried that momentum early on. The return of Mitchell Starc strengthened the attack, and he made an instant impact by removing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the opening over.
With Starc striking first and Jamieson following up soon after, Delhi’s pace unit provided the early breakthroughs they had been missing in recent matches.
Social media reacts to Jamieson send-off
Jamieson’s celebration quickly became a talking point on social media, with many noting the intensity of his reaction after dismissing a 15-year-old batter. While some users described the send-off as unusually aggressive, others felt it underlined Sooryavanshi’s growing presence, suggesting that bowlers are already treating him as a serious threat.
The moment also added intrigue to a potential rematch, with several fans expecting the young batter to remember the exchange when the two sides meet again later in the season.
