MUMBAI: On Wednesday, he had finally won a battle he had fought for long, but Rahul Mankad, son of legendary cricketer Vinoo Mankad, was sadly in no condition to celebrate it.
Having taken severe exception to the term 'Mankaded' every time a bowler ran out a non-striker who was backing up unfairly, as he felt it insulted his father, Mankad, who played 47 first-class matches, should have been a relieved man when the Marylebone Cricket Club finally decided that it should no longer be treated as an unfair means of dismissal, and be considered as a run out.
