The third and final one-day international between the women of England and India featured intense drama, and the game ended on a somewhat contentious note when all-rounder Deepti Sharma ran Charlie Dean out at the non-end strikers because she was backing up too far in advance even though the ball had not yet left Deepti’s hand. The cricket community is divided over this dismissal, which has once again stolen the spotlight, and many are asking whether it is in line with the “spirit of cricket.”
Many people condemned this method of dismissal on Twitter, and other supporters who were trying to justify India’s behavior raised the question of whether Ben Stokes’ attempt to deflect the ball off his bat in the 2019 World Cup final was in accordance with the spirit of the game.
It is significant to note that Ben Stokes dove to make his crease during the final over of the World Cup final, and the ball deflected off his bat to go for a four. The boundary-countback rule ultimately determined that England had won the World Cup.
Stokes tweeted in response to this argument from fans: “Why are people comparing a ball deflecting off of my bat to a mankad.”
It’s vital to understand that this kind of dismissal is not known as a “Mankad” and that it became popular after India’s Vinoo Mankad ran out Bill Brown for backing up too far.
After arriving in India on Monday, Deepti disclosed that although her side had warned Dean, they ultimately decided to run her out when they noticed she was still leaving her crease.
“She frequently slipped out of the crease, so that was our strategy. Even so, we’ve warned her. Therefore, everything we did was in accordance with the laws and regulations “explained Deepti Sharma.
“We also informed the umpires. However, she continued to do it, leaving us with no choice “Added her.
