VIDEO: MOEEN ALI'S RUN OUT OFF A FREE-HIT ATTRACTS 'BEST & CRAZY' REACTIONS FROM FANS; CHECK TWEETS HERE!
Home > News Shots > SportsDuring the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), the moment that took everyone by shock was all-rounder Moeen Ali's run-out for a golden duck that too on a free-hit in IPL 2020 Eliminator on Friday.
It was unbelievable for fans when Moeen Ali, who had just walked into the middle after the dismissal of Arron Finch in the 11th over of the innings, got out in a shocking incident as he got run-out by Rashid Khan on a free-hit while trying to steal a run from the leg-spinner after hitting the ball straight to him off the bowling of Shahbaz Nadeem.
The incident happened when SRH left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem bowled a front foot ball to AB de Villiers and he took a single to get to the non-striker's end.
Soon after that Moeen Ali came in to face the free hit and it was a golden opportunity for him to open his account but one moment on the field got him trending on social media.
Nadeem, who bowled a full delivery right into the block hole while Moeen Ali smashed it straight to Rashid Khan, and decided to steal a quick single. The leg-spinner, then aimed a direct hit and smashed the stumps to send the England all-rounder back to the dugout leaving RCB with 62/4 after 11 overs.
Talking about the match, SRH skipper David Warner won the toss and elected to bowl. Virat Kohli, who came out to open the innings sadly, departed in the second over, while edging leg side straight to the wicket-keeper.
Other than AB de Villiers (56 off 43 balls) and Aaron Finch (32 off 30 balls) no other RCB player occupied the crease for long; they could only manage 131/7 in 20 overs.

I don’t understand why #RCB take players like Moeen Ali who try to take single out of free hit and get run out in the process (only way to get out for a free hit). Bad captaincy and ineffective selection process. Lucky for #SRh #RCBvSRH

Moeen Ali gets out on a free-hit. Remember Robin Peterson getting out run out on a free hit in India's first ever T20 international at Johannesburg in 2006
