The act of 'Mankading' refers to a bowler running out a batter at the non-strikers' end while the latter is out of his/her crease even before the ball is bowled.
Ever since then, the 'Mankad' has always created controversy. Many believe that it is a completely underhanded way to take a wicket, while others believe that a bowler ought to warn the batter a few times before dismissing him/her this way.
The last major controversy regarding the Mankad came in September 2022 when India's Deepti Sharma ran out England's Charlie Dean in an ODI at Lord's to seal a 3-0 series win for the visitors.
If the ICC felt this was an honesty problem, they wouldn't keep it in the rules- Ravichandran Ashwin
Interestingly, it wasn't the first time that either Ashwin or Buttler were involved in a 'Mankading' incident. In an ODI in 2014, Sri Lanka's Sachitra Senanayake ran out Buttler at the non-striker's end. In 2012, Ashwin ran out Sri Lanka's Lahiru Thirimanne in an ODI, but India's captain Virender Sehwag withdrew the appeal.
Ravichandran Ashwin went on to speak about the specific incident with Jos Buttler. He said, "People say Jos Buttler didn't try to run, but that's not my problem. People also say I did it to win. Of course, I did it to win."
