The Mankading is an act of dismissing a non-striker batter before a ball is delivered while the bowler is still completing his bowling action and the batter is found out of the crease. However, the act remains in the grey shade despite the International Cricket Council (ICC) making amendments to the playing rules back in October 2022. As per the coveted governing body, this form of run-out will not be deemed unfair and referred to as 'Mankad' anymore. Notably, ICC moved this dismissal from the 'Unfair Play' section to the 'Run out' section to indicate that it is now termed as a regular run-out.
Albeit, interestingly enough, the non-striker's run-out dismissal has hit the headlines yet again. An Australian cricketer from Tasmania got dismissed at the non-striker’s end. The incident happened during the SCA Grand final between the New Norfolk Cricket Club and the Claremont Cricket Club. The Claremont batter Jarrod Kaye was dismissed by the New Norfolk bowler, Harry Booth.
Post the incident, the Australian media channel, Fox Cricket, shared a clip on social media. In the video, the right-arm bowler Booth starts his run-up while holding the ball with both hands to bowl to Rick Martin. Now. while the bowler was just about to complete his release, he noticed Kaye moving out of the crease. Realising that Booth took the ball into his left hand and dislodged the bails as Kaye made an early start. Consequently, the umpires then ruled the batter run out.
In the aftermath of the decision, while returning back towards the pavilion, Kaye was seen throwing his bat and helmet into the air out of frustration. Moreover, a furious Kaye did not just stop there. After reaching the boundary line, he threw away his gloves as well. Furthermore, the other Claremont players came into the field and expressed their displeasure over the Umpire's decision and the mode of dismissal.
