"Kyle Jamieson has accumulated one Demerit Point and received a warning for breaching Level 1 of the IPL's Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials during Match No. 43 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur," an IPL statement read.
The Incident happened during the second over of the first innings when RR were batting. Jamieson gave a fiery send-off to Sooryavanshi after dismissing him, which could have provoked an aggressive reaction from the batter. Jamieson admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction imposed by the Match Referee, Rajeev Seth.
RR vs DC clash
Coming back to the match, Delhi Capitals finally managed to win a clash after losing three consecutive matches with a seven-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals. The opening duo of KL Rahul (75 off 40 balls) and Pathum Nissanka (62 off 33 balls) set up their tall 226-run chase with a 110-run stand. Tristan Stubbs (18 not out) and Ashutosh Sharma (25 not out) then sealed the chase with five balls to spare.
Earlier, captain Riyan Parag regained his form with a 50-ball 90, which was his first fifty-plus score of the ongoing season, while Donovan Ferreira made a quick-fire 47 not out (14 balls) as RR posted a strong 225/6 after opting to bat.
