Former India cricketer Murali Kartik has revealed that he once got involved in a massive controversy while playing County cricket for Surrey. Kartik, while speaking to India international Ravichandran Ashwin on the latter's show DRS with ASH, said his wife had to run away from the stadium after he effected a run-out at the non-striker's end midway of his bowling run-up, which is popularly known as Mankading. Kartik said after he "mankaded" Alex Barrow, the crowd was so angry that they tried to enter the dressing room illegally. Kartik was sharing his own experience with Ashwin, who famously dismissed Jos Buttler during an IPL game in 2019, causing a huge uproar in the cricketing community.
Kartik said the incident became a big controversy because he had represented Somerset before and the club was already upset with him leaving after playing for them for three years. Kartik said he was already facing accusations regarding his decision to leave the club but after the mankading incident, it became even worse. Kartik, however, added that he received support from former cricketers Michael Holding, Nasser Hussain, and David Lloyd, who were asked about their opinions during England and Sri Lanka series that was happening at the time. He said the trio supported him by saying it was the batsman's fault.
