GRANT ELLIOTT COMMENTS ON FREE HIT DISPUTES IN PAKISTAN-INDIA GAME AT T20 WORLD CUP
After India defeated Pakistan in a tense ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 match, the Kiwi batter tweeted the remark. The cricketer likely refers to the rules governing batsmen getting clean bowled on a free hit because he used the term “free hit” in his hashtag.
There was a lot of uproar during India’s final over, where they required 15 runs to win, and cricketing regulations were questioned. The fourth delivery of Mohammad Nawaz’s over was hit for a six by batsman Virat Kohli, but it was adjudged a no-ball because it was waist-height.
The left-arm pacer bowled wide and was still available for contact.
The following pitch struck a stump, and the ball travelled into the third man’s area, where the Indian batters scored three runs.
It has been criticised that the umpire called it a no-ball and took runs after the ball hit the stump on a free hit.
