Former umpire Simon Taufel had also given his reaction regarding this issue

After Kohli ran away for 3 runs, Pakistan captain Babar Azam also came to the umpire to ask. But these 3 runs were added to Team India’s account. However, former umpire Simon Taufel had also reacted to this issue and said that it was absolutely correct according to the rules. Now the reaction of former Australia captain Mark Taylor has also come on this issue.

He said that the batting side should not get the benefit of such a situation. “I think you’re really taking an unfair advantage if the ball hits the stumps. First, as we saw on Sunday night, the ball can go anywhere, and secondly, if it’s going to field,” he said. If the team wants to run out the batsman, how will they do it because the bails are already down. You have to remove the stumps and that’s tough.

I think if the batsman gets bowled or gets caught on a free hit, you are not out but in that case the ball should be dead, that would be the proper approach. You’ve got the advantage of not getting out of a free hit, but you shouldn’t take advantage of that a second time.”
