New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has revealed that an incident involving young Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi led to a surge of negative attention on social media, prompting him to disable comments on his accounts.

Jamieson said that while one might expect such scrutiny to stem from superstars like Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, the backlash originated from the Sooryavanshi episode. The 29-year-old did not elaborate on the specific nature of the incident but indicated it was significant enough to affect his online presence.

The revelation highlights the intense pressure international players face on digital platforms, where even peripheral events can trigger widespread reaction.
