Hardik on Mankading: Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is famous for his game as well as open mood and wit. He expresses his opinion on any issue by being outspoken. He has proved this once again. Before putting up a match-winning performance against Pakistan, Hardik made his stand in the matter of mankading the batsmen at the bowling end.

Hardik advised to follow the rules

Hardik supported the running of batsmen at the bowling end without bowling the ball, saying that he does not care about the spirit of the game in this matter. He also advised the batsmen and said that we should avoid going beyond the crease.

Mankading got recognition

It is worth noting that 'Mandaking' was once considered 'inappropriate' in the game but the ICC (International Cricket Council) has now changed the rules to make it a valid method of run out. But in this matter, there is a constant discussion about sportsmanship in the cricket world.

no problem personally

Hardik, who played a stellar role with the ball and bat in the Indian team's victory in the opening match of the T20 World Cup against Pakistan, said, "Personally, I have no problem with it." He recorded before the match against Pakistan. He said in the 'ICC Review Podcast', "If I come out of the crease and someone runs me out, it is my fault. He is resorting to rules for profit and there is nothing wrong in that."

Dean was dismissed by Deepti Sharma

Let us tell you that this issue caught fire when Indian women's team player Deepti Sharma had run out Charlie Dean at the bowling end in the third and final match of the series in England tour. Pandya said, "In this we should avoid resorting to any excuse. It's easy enough to understand that it's part of the rules. In such a situation, one should not care about the spirit of the game.

When asked about his cricketing ambitions, Pandya said, "Ever since I came back from injury, I am trying to do my best. If I want to achieve something, it is excellence in this sport."
