Why it was out
The rule is simple. A batter out of the crease can still be run out when the stumps are broken fairly. As long as a ball is not passed the rope or umpire signals, it bars or bouncers what looks like a boundary. Tilak’s intentions didn’t matter. It the matter that he was out of crease and the ball was in play.

Pooran kept it from reaching the boundary but Hope and Motie completed the task. This is good fielding more often than not: a stop here, an oven here, and haste break the stumps with no gravitas attached.
What it cost India
Tilak was going at a fair clip and would have assisted through the knockout stages ansd last overs . His wicket was one of the many that fell during a middle-order collapse. Between 115 and 135, four wickets dropped, the innings finishing on 223. That cannot be put down to one run-out – but it did dispose of a well set batter. India still won comfortably enough.
Three takeaways for batters
- See the ball until dead. Do not trust a shot how it looks.
- Call loudly and clearly. Both batters should take an absolute measure as to whether that they would be running, stopping or turning back.
- Finish the play. Switch it on until the ball is dead.
