=== Later career ===
Mankad's best performance was against [[England cricket team|England]] at [[Lord's]] in 1952. In the first innings, he top-scored with 72. During England's first innings, he bowled 73 overs and took 5 wickets for 196 runs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/818479 |title=Lord's Honours Board: The Best Indian XI |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=17 August 2018}}</ref> In India's second innings in that Test match, he top-scored again with 184 runs out of India's total of 378. Though England won the game easily, Mankad's all-around performance salvaged India's pride in a series where they were heavily outmatched. Mankad was the first player in more than 30 years to score a 100 and take five wickets in the same Test and the first Indian to achieve this feat. As such, he is one of only three non-England 'away' players whose names appear on both batting and bowling [[Lord's Honours Boards|honours boards at Lords]]. (The other two are [[Keith Miller]] and [[Sir Gary Sobers]]).

Also memorable was his role earlier in the same year against England in [[M. A. Chidambaram Stadium|Madras]]. He took 8/52 in England's first innings and 4/53 in the second helping India beat England for the first time in a Test match.

In 1956 he hit 231 against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] at [[Chennai]] and together with [[Pankaj Roy]] established the then world record opening [[partnership (cricket)|partnership]] of 413 [[run (cricket)|runs]] which stood for 52 years. His score was a Test record for India at the time and would remain so until it was broken in 1983 by [[Sunil Gavaskar]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-04-11|title=Remembering Vinoo Mankad, one of India’s finest all-rounders with long-enduring Test records|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/remembering-vinoo-mankad-one-india-s-finest-all-rounders-long-enduring-test-records-60180|access-date=2021-06-13|website=The News Minute|language=en}}</ref>

Playing for Tonge in the [[Bolton Cricket League]], Mankad picked up 54 wickets in the 1961 season, becoming the first player to claim more than 50 wickets in a season in the league.<ref>{{cite news |title=Mankad Takes 54 Wkts.

== Controversy of Mankading==
Mankad caused a major controversy in 1947/48 on India's tour of [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] when he ran out [[Bill Brown (cricketer)|Bill Brown]] in the second Test. Mankad, bowling, paused during the delivery stride of his run-up and broke the wicket at the non-striker's end, whilst Brown was out of his crease backing up the striker in the accepted manner.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The man behind the ‘Mankad’|url=http://www.dailynews.lk/2019/03/30/sports/181722/man-behind-%E2%80%98mankad%E2%80%99|access-date=2021-06-13|website=Daily News|language=en}}</ref> He had done the same thing to Brown in the game against an Australian XI earlier on the tour, but his running out of Brown infuriated the Australian media, and running someone out in this way is now referred to around the world as "[[Run out#Running out a batsman "backing up"|Mankading]]".<ref name="Beard">{{cite book |title=Ask Bearders |last=Frindall |first=Bill |author-link=Bill Frindall |year=2009 |publisher=[[BBC Books]]|isbn=978-1-84607-880-4 |pages=131–132 }}</ref> Although such an act is not an infringement of the [[laws of cricket]], to some it is considered unsporting and against the spirit of the game.

However, famed cricketer Sir [[Don Bradman]] in his autobiography defended Mankad's action, saying:

: For the life of me, I can't understand why [the press] questioned his sportsmanship. The laws of cricket make it quite clear that the non-striker must keep within his ground until the ball has been delivered. If not, why is the provision there which enables the bowler to run him out? By backing up too far or too early, the non-striker is very obviously gaining an unfair advantage.

While perfectly legal, some contend that by convention, a bowler should at least warn a batsman who persists in backing up too far before dismissing him in that fashion. Mankad himself had warned Brown before dismissing him in this fashion in the earlier game.<ref name="Beard"/> [[Courtney Walsh]] likewise received praise for warning rather than dismissing [[Saleem Jaffar]], who was backing up during the [[1987 ICC Cricket World Cup|1987 World Cup]].

== Honour ==
The Government of India awarded him the civilian honour of the [[Padma Bhushan]] in 1973.<ref name="Padma Awards">{{cite web | url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf | title=Padma Awards | publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India | date=2015 | access-date=21 July 2015}}</ref>

A road named in honor of Mankad is situated just south of the [[Wankhede Stadium]] in [[Mumbai]].

A statue in his memory is present in his birth town of [[Jamnagar]], [[Gujarat]].

He was among the ten inductees named by the [[International Cricket Council]] for the [[ICC Cricket Hall of Fame]] ahead of the [[ICC World Test Championship|2021 ICC World Test Championship]] final.<ref name=":0" />
