'Mankading': How India's first post Independence superstar cricketer still gets maligned

For more than five decades, he held the world record opening stand of 413 in Test matches with his partner Pankaj Roy. Even the 231 that he scored in that game against New Zealand in Chennai in January 1965 stood the test of time for nearly three decades as the highest individual Test score by an Indian before Sunil Gavaskar surpassed it in 1983. He was perhaps one of the first professionals among the amateurs in '40s and '50s when cricket couldn't be a source of sustenance.

India vs England: Deepti Sharma's Run-Out Of Charlie Dean Divides Cricket Fraternity

India all-rounder Deepti Sharma's decision to run-out England's Charlotte Dean at the non-striker's end because she was backing up too far before the ball was released has generated a lot of contrasting opinions on social media, leaving the cricketing fraternity divided. This act was earlier popularly known as 'Mankad' after India cricket legend Vinoo Mankad afflicted this mode of dismissal by running out Australia's Bill Brown at non-striker's end. Though many cricketers argue that it is against the spirit of the game, it is totally legal as per the laws of the sport.

ICC lays 'Mankading' to rest

New playing conditions in force from October 1NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council's (ICC) chief executives' committee has ratified a slew of changes to the playing conditions which will come into effect from October 1, the most prominent among them being a belated attempt to destigmatize the controversial practice of 'Mankading', or running out a batter at the non-striker's end. For decades, the move, which takes its name from the legendary Vinoo Mankad's similar run out of Bill Brown during India's 1948 tour of Australia, has been considered against the 'spirit of the game' even though it is perfectly legal according to cricket's laws.

In the 1948 tour of Australia, Mankad had famously run out home team 'keeper Bill Brown, who would often leave his crease at the non-striker's end, to gain a few yards.
