Mankad

Named after Indian cricketer Vinoo Mankad, it's a specific run-out dismissal in the game of cricket. When the batsman at the non-striker's is run out by the bowler before the ball is bowled, due to excessive backing up, he is said to have been mankaded.

In 2007 Gayle tried to mankad Vaughan at Chester-le-Street, but failed and received a withering look for his effort.

Mankad

A bowler using their quick wit and presence of mind to catch a cheating batter in the act.

The bowler strikes the bails of the non striking batter as in a run out because the batter has left the crease before the ball is bowled.

Some professional players believe that since it shows quick wit and presence of mind by the bowler under high stress, the wicket should be awarded to the bowler unlike in regular run outs.

England showed poor sportsmanship by feigning outrage over the Mankad by Deepti.
