Which style of play is known as ‘Mankad’?


Which style of play is known as ‘Mankad’?

The running out of a non-striking batsman, who leaves his crease before the bowler has released the ball, is called ‘Mankad’. It is named after Vinoo Mankad, an Indian bowler who used this method rather controversially, in a Test match. This is relatively common in indoor cricket, and is noted separately from run outs, though it is almost unheard of in first class cricket
