You have to say that for drama that was quite something. 90,000+ there creating an atmosphere that was jumping through the TV screen. Amazing stuff.
That 6 by Kohli down the ground was sweet as. The pressure that was on India at that point completely turned on Pakistan.
To think a sweet ball like the one that clean bowled Kohli would be the eventual turning point (I think the only 3 run in India’s whole innings).

Can anyone shed any light on the thinking behind the rule that allows you to run after being out on a free hit?
It just seems so absurd.
The free hit / can’t go out trumps everything. It’s the same as if say the batsman gets caught in the field, they can run basically until the ball becomes “dead” ie when it’s returned to the keeper or bowler.

Seems beyond stupid to me. If you get out on a free hit, whether it's bowled, caught or any other way, you should be not out - but you shouldn't get additional runs.

I agree that is what the law should say. Seems relatively simple. Running after being bowled (or caught) is just silly.
Hope they change it.
