'Quite unexpected reaction': Fans react to Kyle Jamieson's aggressive celebration against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in RR vs DC

Sooryavanshi hung back, looked to dig it out, but the under-edge crashed into the stumps.

The dismissal itself was just one part of the story. Jamieson, visibly fired up after sending Sooryavanshi on his way, turned and fixed the teenager with a fierce, lingering stare as he walked off.

Fans taken aback by Jamieson reaction after Sooryavanshi dismissal

The celebration quickly trended across social media, with many fans taken aback by the intensity of the reaction directed at a 15-year-old prodigy.

Some felt it was unsporting, others argued that the teenager's growing reputation and fearless approach warranted being treated exactly as any other batter would be.

While, @TheJokeSniper wrote: "That ball was a beauty and would have taken down any top batsman. Jamieson's reaction showed how much of a threat this 15 year old already is to the world bowlers."

Another fan wrote: "Sooryavanshi nation, we will be there at Kotla on the 17th."

The Cricket News Opinion: Bowl them out, but leave the stare on the field

Jamieson's yorker was brilliant. The send-off, less so. There is nothing wrong with a show of emotion after a big wicket, especially one Delhi needed badly.

But singling out a 15-year-old for an extended stare-down crosses a line that even competitive cricket should be mindful of.

Sooryavanshi handled it the way he handles pace without flinching. And if history is any guide, he will be back at the crease soon enough, with the score to prove it on the 17th at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
