In just the second, Jamieson delivered a precise strike to dismiss the 15-year-old prodigy for 4, underscoring his control and accuracy.

But the celebration that followed sparked controversy. Jamison clapped vigorously and walked toward the batter, making eye contact in a manner deemed confrontational. Given the age of the dismissed batsman, the send-off drew criticism for being excessive.

The Indian Premier League subsequently awarded Jamieson a penalty point as well as a formal warning for breaching the code of conduct during Match No. 43. The New Zealander was found guilty of a level one offense under Article 2.5, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage another player or are capable of provoking an aggressive reaction”. Jamieson admitted the charge and accepted the penalty imposed by match referee Rajeev Seth.

Despite the rebuke, Ferguson defended his colleague, stressing that such feelings are part of the game.“Kyle is a good teammate of mine. He was very passionate, which is very understandable. It’s not easy to get wickets in this part of the world, and that was a big deal. So I think it’s part of the game. I think the fans like to see passion. I can’t comment on anything from a governing body point of view, but as a player, I think the passion that comes out is great for the game. As a fan of the game, you like to see players passionate, players showing passion, players passionate about taking wickets… obviously he’s a big man too, so when he has Big man so many feelings, it feels even bigger.
