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.

Yeah it’s a funny one.
Just another quirk that not every one is aware of, but I noticed the Pakistan keeper was fully across it. When the Indian batsmen ran the 3rd run after the ball hit the stumps there was a run out* chance and because the bails had been dislodged in the delivery, when the ball was thrown to the keeper he caught it and then pulled the stump out of the ground. The batsman made the ground but it was close.
*you can still be run out on a free hit ball, just like a no ball.

Ball goes dead when a batsman is dismissed. Because you can’t be dismissed bowled from a “free hit” then ball isn’t dead.
That was a hell of a rough no ball call though (compared to similar that are never called unless taking the head off)

If we're still discussing this, then this is the key point.
If you get bowled or caught off a no ball you can still run can't you?
So why can't you off a free hit where this has been introduced because it's unpossible to pick up a no-ball call and smack it like you should be able to.
Have no issue with the rule as it stands.
And there'll be no rule change as India benefitted. If it was reversed then bet on it.

Nah, that's stupid. It should be a dead ball if you're bowled or caught or stumped or whatever, on a free hit.
