‘Mankad’ started trending on X after Afghanistan’s pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi ran out Shahdab Khan in the last over of the second ODI at the non-striking end.
Shahdab was backing up and was looking for a single to face the last over but Farooqi followed him up during his bowling action and ran him out.
In the sport of cricket, this act is named ‘Mankading’ after Indian international Vinoo Mankad. This is the informal name given to running out the non-striking batter whilst they are backing up, which is when they begin to leave the crease while the bowler is in their final delivery stride. The X users are blasting Farooqi for his action.
How cheap is that by Fazal ul Haq Farooqi He was completely afraid of Shadab khan but Naseem Shah teaches him well.
You can’t be hero by cheating Farooqi.#PakvsAfg #PAKvAFG #AsiaCup2023 #عمران_خان_سرخرو #PakistanZindabad pic.twitter.com/FoK5tJxXEs— Adeel Ahmad (@AAHD05) August 24, 2023

Farooqi thought he will take the revenge & will settle the score with Naseem.
It’s 2-0 now ????
It will take Farooqi his whole career to forget this & take the revenge. Too much bro … #PAKvAFG— Ihtisham Ul Haq (@iihtishamm) August 24, 2023
