Top 5 instances of 'Mankading' in cricket

#2 Sachithra Senanayake v Jos Buttler

Buttler is an old victim of Mankading

Oh! Poor Buttler. As it turns out, yesterday was not the first time the English wicket-keeper batsman was Mankaded. A similar incident happened to him five years ago, when England and Sri Lanka were engaged in a series-deciding fifth ODI. Batting first at Edgbaston, England were once 170-6, but Jos Buttler and Chris Jordan provided some stability to the innings.

While the latter was batting on 17, the former had accumulated 21 runs when Sachithra Senanayake was bowling the 44th over of the match.

In the third ball of the over, the off-spinner mankaded him. Replays confirmed that Senanayake had already warned Buttler before getting him out.

Sri Lanka eventually won the match, sailing on commendable knocks from Lahiru Thirimanne and Mahela Jayawardene. The Lankans then went on to win the Test series as well in truly remarkable fashion.
