# List of Mankading incidents in cricket

In the sport of cricket, Mankading (named after Indian international Vinoo Mankad) is the informal name given to running out the non-striking batter whilst they are backing up, which is when they begin to leave the crease while the bowler is in their final delivery stride.
This kind of run-out is part of the Laws of Cricket, but there is a long term unspoken rule regarding the spirit of the game. This unspoken rule suggests that the bowler or team should warn a player first before performing the run out attempt. This warning could be given verbally, or the bowler can perform the run out before withdrawing the appeal. Dismissals of this type can be controversial, particularly when no warning was given, and often involve the umpires having discussions between themselves and the captain of the bowling side in order to confirm if the captain wishes to continue with the appeal even though these dismissals are simple to adjudicate.
The first batter to be dismissed such a way in first class cricket was George Baigent of Sussex in 1835. The bowler was Thomas Barker.

## Representation in popular culture

In Bodyline, the dramatisation of the notorious Bodyline tour of 1932–33, the controversial England captain Douglas Jardine is represented early in his career as encouraging a bowler to Mankad an opponent without giving a prior warning. Jardine's action is excused in the dramatisation by Lord Harris, who is represented as saying he had done the same in his playing career. While this represents Jardine's (and his supporters') perceived willingness to resort to sharp practice, there is in fact no evidence that Jardine or Harris initiated such an instance as captains, and no record of such an incident in first-class cricket. Instead, it might have been a reference to Harris' act for Eton against Harrow at Lord's in 1870.
In the Bollywood film Lagaan, one of the English bowlers Mankads one of the Indian team's players after his runner backed up.
