However, the young man had a difficult beginning of his career after facing an aggressive dismissal from Kyle Jamieson of Delhi, who is known for his quick bowling style, during a match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. He was heavily criticized for this dismissal, while the BCCI also penalized him for it. Following the incident, his fellow player Lockie Ferguson defended Jamieson, saying this is part of cricket.

This occurred when Jamieson dismissed 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for only 4 runs in the second over. This delivery demonstrated his control and accuracy. However, Jamieson's celebration of the wicket sparked controversy. Jamieson applauded aggressively and approached Vaibhav, making eye contact with him. Given Vaibhav's young age, Jamieson's send-off was widely criticized.

The BCCI issued a demerit point and reprimanded Kyle Jamieson for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during Match 43. He was found guilty of a Level 1 offence under Article 2.5 of the Code of Conduct. This clause relates to using language, actions, or gestures that insult another player or could provoke an aggressive reaction from him.

Despite the reprimand, Lockie Ferguson has defended Kyle Jamieson. Speaking to India Today, Lockie said, "Kyle is a very good friend of mine. He was very excited after taking a wicket, and that's completely understandable. It's not easy to take wickets in this part of the world, and this was a big one. So, I think it's part of the game. I think fans enjoy seeing this passion in the players."

He further added, "I can't comment from the governing body's perspective, but as a player, it's great to see the passion of the players during the game. As a fan, you enjoy seeing how passionate the players are, expressing their emotions, and how excited they are after taking a wicket." Lockie further added, "Obviously, Kyle is quite a big man." So when such a big player expresses his emotions, it appears even more impressive and bigger.
