The batter was rightly declared out as the law stands. Law 41.16, which pertains to the “Non-striker leaving his/her ground early,” states: “If the non-striker is out of his/her ground at any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be run out.”
However, I think the law should be amended to replace the words “until the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball” by the words “until the bowler enters his/her final delivery stride”.

The law as it stands allows a bowler to hold on to the ball after the final delivery stride without releasing it, i.e. feign a delivery, in the hope of inducing the batter to leave his/her ground in order to effect the “Mankad”. This is unfair. If allowed, then this may even become routine and affect the normal flow of the game.
