As the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League is just around the corner, the debate on ‘Mankading’ has once again reignited with several cricketers giving their opinions on the matter. It was a few days ago, when Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting made it clear that no player from his team would be allowed to get a batsman out by Mankading them in IPL 2020.

The latest one to weigh in his opinion is the skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders. Talking to Cricketnext in an interview, Dinesh Karthik claimed that though Mankading technique is under the rules, he would not allow his players to indulge in Mankading as it is not necessary. Talking about the same, he said:
“I keep saying this. As a captain, I wouldn’t allow my bowler [to do a Mankad]. If my bowler does it, I won’t accept it as a dismissal. Because I feel that [even though] it’s okay, it’s not necessary, our bowlers have the skill levels to do a proper dismissal,”
He added:
“Rules need to be watertight and there is no question of… it’s either black or white, it’s as simple as that,” he said. “There should be no grey areas for people to use a loophole and find out.”

Furthermore, Dinesh Karthik said that he feels that the bowlers should be allowed to create a run-out if they find the batsman at the non-striker’s end, to be wandering outside the crease. He said:
“I think every time a batsman crosses [the line before the ball is delivered], the bowler should be allowed to create a run out. I don’t think there is any spirit of cricket question that is there in that. Because I feel if a batsman nicks a ball and he doesn’t walk, where is the spirit then?”
He added:
“I think you need to be fair. You should take it out of the bowler’s hand and the umpire’s hand. It is either out or a not out, that’s all. There is no question of asking the captain, asking the referee and those kind of things,”
Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik will be seen leading his team Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, which is all set to kickstart from September 19th in UAE.
