Cricket Viral Video: The “Mankad,” or bowler’s runout at the non-end, striker’s has been one of the most contentious features of cricket.

During the event, which happened during a match between Cyprus Moufflons CC and Punjab Lions Nicosia, the non-striker appeared to be in a hurry to switch to the strike. Before the bowler had finished his action, the batter on the other side of the bowler’s crease could be seen running out.

However, unlike today’s players, the bowler chose not to try the runout even after the batter had gone almost halfway down the pitch. Before this incident in the European Cricket League, the Big Bash League’s Australian leggie Adam Zampa’s run-out of Tom Rogers at the non-strikers sparked a significant uproar. Because the bowler’s hand had passed the release point, the dismissal was reversed to not out.

Harsh Mankad, the grandson of Vinoo Mankad, a former player for India and the name-bearer of the runout, addressed the topic a few days after the occurrence. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Harsh said that, in contrast to many perspectives, the Mankad family is okay with their involvement with the incident. This is contrary to many opinions that claim the term was used in a negative manner.

He said, “Personally, I’m always delighted to see my grandfather being remembered. I feel it to be a great honour for our name to be associated with a cricketing term. I’d love to see the “Mankad” or “Mankading” stay and keep alive his memories and legacy as a great competitor and sportsman deeply respected and admired by everyone I’ve met and those who knew him and experienced life with him.”
