Batter Gets Run Out On Free Hit While Strolling Back To Crease In Pakistan. Watch

Getting run out is one of the most heartbreaking ways to get dismissed in cricket for a batter and when it happens on a free hit, it is even more hurtful. Pakistani cricketer Rohail Nazir faced this eventuality on Monday during a National T20 Cup match in Multan as he paid for his lazy running.

In a match between Rohail’s Northern (Pakistan) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the wicket-keeper batter was run out as he was found short of his crease while strolling back at the non striker’s end.

It was a direct hit and the batter had his bat in the air as he very lazily returned to the crease.
