R Ashwin, Stuart Broad lead mixed reactions after Deepti Sharma runs out Charlie Dean at non-striker's end

Legendary Jhulan Goswami’s farewell game had an interesting end as India’s Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker’s end for backing up too far. Dean’s was the last wicket to fall in the match as India won the third ODI by 16 runs to complete a 3-0 series sweep.

Chasing a target of 170, the hosts lost nine wickets for 118 but Dean’s fighting knock of 47 off 80 balls kept the hopes alive. However, greater game awareness came to India’s rescue as Dean was run out by Deepti in her bowling stride. The mode of dismissal which is commonly known as ‘Mankad’ was recently legalised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has also moved the dismissal from ‘Unfair Play’ to ‘Run out’ section.
