All-rounder Arjun Tendulkar, son of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, grabbed everyone's attention by scoring a century on his Ranji Trophy debut. Similarly, Arjun has once again come into the limelight by declaring his stance on the controversial 'Mankading'.

Arjun Tendulkar favours run-outs on non-strikers' end mode. "Of course, if someone does Mankading, I will unquestionably support him," he stated. In fact, the International Cricket Council (ICC) removed the term 'mankding' from its 'unfair play' category in 2022.

Ravichandran Ashwin's dismissal of Jos Buttler in this way in the IPL provoked controversy. Following this, Deepti Sharma of the Indian women's team dismissed the English player on their home ground.

Mitchell Starc, Australia's star fast bowler, has frequently asked the batsman at the non-striker's end to stay in line. In cricket, there are several points of contention regarding 'Mankading'. 

Many former players had opposed the dismissal of the non-striker's end batsman by 'Mankading' him. because it does not require any skill from the bowler.

"I am totally in favour of 'Mankading', it is within the rule. "I disagree with those who say it is against the spirit of the game," Arjun Tendulkar said.

"I personally wouldn't do it because I can't stop my run-up." "It takes a lot of effort, and I won't waste my energy on it." "But if someone does it, I am definitely in his favour," said Arjun in an interview with Cricket Next.

The ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was held recently. Rohit's action in the last match of the series won everyone's hearts. In fact, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka was playing on 98. Then Mohammed Shami appealed by blowing the stumps in a mankading manner.

Umpire Nitin Menon signalled the third umpire, but Rohit came running and withdrew the appeal. Rajitha then took a single and gave the strike to Shanaka, and the Sri Lankan skipper completed his century. Rohit's act, however, won the hearts of the fans. Shanaka scored 98 runs.

In the Big Bash League, Australia's Adam Zampa also attempted a runout in this manner. However, Zampa did not dismiss the batsman, as he was run out after completing his bowling action.
