In the sport of cricket, Mankading (named after Indian international Vinoo Mankad) 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 situation is analogous to the sport of baseball where a player will take a lead off, which risks the pitcher performing a pickoff to throw the ball to a baseman to tag the runner out. The first batter to be dismissed such a way in first class cricket was George Baigent of Sussex in 1835. The bowler was Thomas Barker.
