New Zealand batter Ish Sodhi looked surprised and disappointed when Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud ran him out while bowling his fourth ball of the 46th over in Saturday's second One Day International in Mirpur.
Sodhi was a few inches outside the non-striker’s end when Hasan was about to deliver the ball and having sensed it early, the bowler removed the bails and appealed for a run out.
This kind of run out dismissal, often termed as controversial by many although it is well within the laws of the game, is better known as “Mankading”, named after Indian bowler Vinoo Mankad.
Mankad had dismissed Bill Brown, not once but twice by removing the bails when he was outside the crease during India's tour of Australia in 1947.
It was the first incident of “Mankading” for any Bangladeshi bowler in international cricket when Hasan ran Sodhi out in that way.
Sodhi was shaking his head while returning to the pavilion and even mockingly clapped with his bat and pointed it towards Hasan with disappointment.
However, Bangladesh skipper Liton Das immediately talked with umpire Marais Erasmus and decided to call Sodhi back by overturning the appeal.
When Sodhi realized he had been called back, he grinned and ran towards Hasan who was at the start of his bowling run-up.
Sodhi hugged Hasan sporting a bright smile on his face.
Sodhi was batting on 17 when this incident happened.
He later finished his innings with a crucial 35-run effort off 39 deliveries which helped New Zealand to score 254 in the end.
