Star India opener Smriti Mandhana on Wednesday said the rules permit the bowlers to resort to 'Mankading' but the batters could be warned before being dismissed.
The debate over this method of dismissal was ignited again when England's Katherine Brunt recently opted against 'Mankading' South Africa's Sune Luus in a crunch situation during a group stage match in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.
"Well, I think it is in the rules of the game, that you can get the batter out. But I think it is good for us to give warning once, or twice maybe," Mandhana said on the eve of India's crucial match against New Zealand in the women's T20 World Cup.
"As a batter, if I keep doing that then the third time I think the bowler has the right to get me out. So that's what I feel (laughs)."
