Mankading is a legal way of dismissing the non-striker when the latter tries to back up from the crease. When a non-striker backs up from the crease, then the bowler has every right to warn the batter or even whip the bails off in the first place.
Over the years, non-strikers have often got an unfair advantage as it helped them get the extra run. However, on the other hand, the bowlers are the ones who have been on the receiving end.
In the last few years, the cricket fraternity has witnessed some Mankading dismissals. While some were totally in favour of the dismissal, others were not really in favour of this dismissal.
When the bowler’s foot is not behind the crease, it is adjudged a no-ball, then it is also imperative for the non-striker to remain at the crease until the bowler reaches the release point or completes the bowling action.
Arjun Tendulkar says he is completely in favour of Mankading
Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar’s son, Arjun Tendulkar made the headlines after he said he is completely in favour of Mankading dismissal. While speaking to CricketNext, Arjun Tendulkar made it clear that he is totally in favour of Mankading.
Furthermore, he added that he personally won’t do it. The all-rounder revealed the reason why he won’t be doing it in the first place. He said he won’t Mankad the batter because he can’t stop and remove the bails in his run-up.
Arjun Tendulkar also added that he won’t waste his energy on it anyways. He has by far played four games in first-class cricket, seven games in List-A cricket and nine T20s in his career, taking 8 wickets, 8 wickets and 12 wickets in the respective formats.
On the other hand, he has slammed one century to his name in first-class cricket. He scored 127 runs in four games at an average of 31.8.

Nope. he has a point. Spinners who have much shorter run ups can do it. Guys who have to run 15-20 paces have to slow down and do this in a way they are not used to.
