In the event of a no ball for bowler overstepping, a free hit is allowed. in a free hit, the batsman will not be out by any means except by run out.
Free Hit rule is applicable in T20 and ODI only and not in test matches.
Clarification given by ICC regarding free hit is reproduced below:
The free hit in ODIs applies to all foot fault no balls and not just front foot no balls, the ICC today confirmed.
A free hit will apply to the next delivery after a bowler either oversteps with his front foot or if his back foot cuts or does not land within the return crease.
The playing condition reads as follows:
24.2 Free Hit after a foot-fault no ball... the delivery following a no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.
For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.
Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply).
The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

Free hit and runner both Free hit If a bowlers does something wrong on 1 ball,why should he suffer in 2 balls? No runner Can easily remove the batsman in form from the field and the new batsman will take some time to settle.

Free hit rule in cricket- this rule is applied in t20 and 1day when a bowler bowls a no ball. in this the batsman gets 2 hit n extra ball during which field placement cannot be changed and the batsman is not given out until its a run out.i.e no catch out,no bowled,no l.b.w

After "noball" btasman gets free hit.........
A free hit would mean the batsman could be dismissed only by being run out from that delivery, as is the case with a no ball. The move should encourage bowlers to reduce the number of extras and help matches finish on time...

in a T20 game if a bowler bowls a no ball the ball after that is a free hit . in a free hit the batsmen can hit over the top without fear because in a free hit wickets except run-outs and stumpings are not given

In any one day cricket now if a bowler over steps the front line on the crease it shall be a free hit in which the batter cannot be out unless he is run out.
