After this incident, a fierce debate started on Twitter (X) and other social media platforms.
Many fans called it inappropriate behavior against a minor player and even demanded strict action like “child abuse”. However, no official complaint or board action has been confirmed so far in this matter.

Former cricketer Priyank Panchal also reacted to the incident. He wrote on social media that such aggressive celebration after dismissing a 15-year-old player does not look good, but it also shows that Vaibhav has already started making an impact on the opposition teams with his talent.
Cricket experts believe that it is important to maintain patience towards young players in such matches, especially when the players are still at the beginning of their career. At the same time, some people say that it was only a part of the competition on the field and it should not be given much importance.
Currently, this matter has become a topic of discussion on social media and fans are divided into two groups – one side is calling Jamieson’s behavior wrong, while the other is considering it to be a part of normal cricket aggression.
