Rabada fined for Dhawan send-off - chairman - 02-15-2018
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has picked up a fine and a demerit point for giving India opener Shikhar Dhawan a send-off in Port Elizabeth. He lost 15% of his match fee over the incident, and gained one demerit point, taking his overall tally to five.
Each demerit point stays on a player's record for a period of 24 months. Four demerit points warrant the first suspension, and eight lead to another longer suspension. Rabada was already suspended for one Test against England in mid-2017, for having accumulated four demerit points. He picked up the first three of those on February 8, 2017, following an ODI against Sri Lanka.

Honestly I don't see anything wrong in this sign. Saying bye bye is not that bad than saying some bad words, lol. I haven't seen the match, but I have seen above video and I don't think it is anything wrong. This can happen in excitement.
