What is Mankading?

The manner of dismissing it in the name of former Indian spinner Veenu Mankad is within the rules of cricket, but some consider it against the spirit of the game. In 1947, Bill Brown of Australia was dismissed by Venu Mankad in the same manner. If the batsman standing at the other end of the match comes out of the crease before the bowler leaves the ball from his hand, then he is called Mankading to run out. Among the Indians, Kapil Dev dismissed South Africa's Peter Kirsten from Mankading during the 1992–93 series. At the same time, in domestic cricket, spinner Murali Karthik dismissed Bengal's Sandipan Das in a similar Ranji Trophy match.
