Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle and England all-rounder Ben Stokes engaged in a healthy debate about the ‘non-striker’s end’ following Harshal Patel’s missed mankad in the RCB vs LSG match. Patel had a chance to run-out Ravi Bishnoi, who was leaving his crease early, but fumbled and clipped the bails off too late. While some experts believe that mankadding goes against the ‘Spirit of the Game’, Bhogle slammed those people for not supporting it in this case. Stokes suggested a rule change where the batting team gets a 6-run penalty if the non-striker leaves his crease early, which Bhogle respected and offered to discuss further in person.
