What is Mankad in Cricket?

In Cricket Mankad is related to Run-Out. During bowling, if a bowler turns his arm round and rather than releasing the ball, hits out the bails of the non-striking batsman and runs him out, then this type of dismissal is called as a Mankad.

It is named after the Indian cricketer Vinoo Mankad who had the Australian cricketer Bill Brown out two times in this manner.
