Explanation

A Mankad is the running-out of a non-striker who leaves their crease before the bowler has released the ball. It's named after Vinoo Mankad, who famously dismissed Bill Brown this way in 1947. While legal under the Laws of Cricket, it's controversial and often seen as against the 'spirit of cricket' unless the non-striker is consistently stealing ground.
