Watch Video: Mitchell Starc's 'Mankad' Gesture Leaves Everyone in Surprise; Twitter Reacts!

During the 3rd ODI between England vs Australia, Mitchell Starc gave Adil Rashid a warning amid the match. He told Adil to get back in his crease at the non-striker’s end in the 49th over of the English innings on Wednesday.

Amid the match, when Rashid was out of his crease at the non-striker’s end, Starc, who could have knocked off Rashid’s bails to ‘Mankad’ him out, did not do that. Instead, he stopped his bowling and told Rashid to stay in his crease. 

It was one of the rarest of rarest things that you would see from an Australian cricketer as Starc has earlier made his stance on the ‘Mankad’ very clear. While few others like Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa have said they are for the Mankad. 

Talking about the match, England went on to post 302/7 in their 50 overs. Check out the video and few of the comments below:
