Deepti Sharma He was criticized a lot after Charlie Dean’s Mankading. English fans and experts have been at the forefront of it all, cursing Deepti for effecting a run out against the spirit of the game.
Harsha Bhogle wrote a big thread related to the incident on Twitter. He said he finds it very disturbing that England wants the world to believe what they think is right and wrong.
“I find it very disturbing that a very large section of the media in England is questioning a girl who plays by the rules of the game and no one else who was gaining an illegal advantage and was a habitual offender It involves the right people and I think it is a cultural thing. The British thought it was wrong to do so and because they ruled a large part of the cricketing world, they told everyone it was wrong. Colonial domination It was so powerful that some people questioned it,” Harsh wrote.

Harsha then wrote that the rest of the world no longer felt compelled to think and behave like England.
“As a result, there is still the mindset that what England believes to be wrong should be considered wrong by the rest of the cricketing world, much like a “line”, says the Aussies, that you should not cross after deciding which There should be a line that is fine in their culture but may not be for others. The rest of the world is no longer obliged to think like England and so we see what is so clearly wrong. So there is also the assumption that Changing track is bad but seaming track is fine. The reason I say it is because it is cultural, that is why they have been brought in to think. They don’t think it is wrong,” Harsh said.
Harsh then said that the best way is to play within the rules of the game and worry less about the spirit of the game which is subjective.
“The easiest thing to do is to play by the rules of the game and stop worrying about subjective interpretation of the spirit of the game, to stop imposing opinions on others. The law says that the non-striker must be behind the crease as long as Don’t be the bowler’s hand. Its the highest point. If you follow this, the game will proceed smoothly. If you point the finger at others, like many in England are in splendor, you will be able to do what you asked. remain open to questions. It is best if those in power, or those in power, stopped believing that the world should follow their bidding. Same in cricket. But I am bothered by the vitriol directed towards Deepti. She plays by the rules of the game and the criticism for what she did must stop,” wrote Harsh.
England all-rounder and Test captain, Ben Stokes, reacting to Bhogle’s comments, asked why he needed to bring culture to Mankading.
Well, it didn’t stop here as Stokes also reacted to some of Bhogle’s other tweets.
Deepti Sharma’s Charlie Dean’s Mankad and the things that have come out after that are refusing to die or slow down. Obviously, different people have different opinions on this matter. Also, under the new rules, the section related to Mankad has been removed from unfair play and run out.
