The Mankading incident in IPL 2019 between Ravichandran Ashwin (Kings XI Punjab) and Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals)
Jos Buttler had already experienced the consequences of the Mankading dismissal previously. Nevertheless, the England batsman did not seem to comprehend the lesson. In IPL 2019, during KXIP’s match against RR, Ravichandran Ashwin gave him another example. The bowler stopped his delivery and removed the bails when he saw Buttler, who had stepped away from the non-striker’s crease, unaware of what was about to happen. The umpire declared Buttler out for Mankading, and he had no choice but to leave the field in a state of frustration.

Kapil Dev and Peter Kirsten Mankading in the second One-Day International between India and South Africa in 1992
Nobody would have anticipated Kapil Dev, the legendary cricketer, to become associated with the Mankading episode. However, the experienced player also experienced a taste of this when Peter Kirsten of South Africa disregarded the repeated warnings and ran out of his crease. South Africa was chasing 147 in the second one-day match of a seven-match ODI series in 1992. Shortly after arriving at the crease, Kirsten was looking for quick singles but was overly eager and leaving the crease too soon. Even after being warned twice, he continued and eventually was hit by the consequences when Dev swiftly removed the bails.
The Deepti Sharma Mankad incident in the India Women’s vs England Women’s match
The issue over Mankad has escalated once again in India vs England match. Although Deepti Sharma had the right to dismiss the English player by running them out due to the alteration of the rules, she was still criticised. England was hoping for a remarkable one-wicket win at Lord’s; however, Charlie Dean was run out by Sharma when she went false-started and whipped off the bails while she was still in her crease. This gave India the match win and left Dean in tears.
