In T20 cricket, a free hit is granted when a bowler bowls a no ball. A 'free hit' ball can be hit by the batsman without the fear of getting out caught or bowled. However, he can be run out. The difference here is that in addition to the no ball already bowled, you get a 'free hit' ball.

When a bowler oversteps that ball is called a no-ball by the umpire and signals a free hit to the batsman. The next ball will be a free hit and the batsman will not be given out on that ball except run out. You might have seen that in T20.

Free hit comes in twenty20 just because batsman cant take the advantage of front foot no ball as umpire takes time to call and till that time its too late for the batsman to know thats the no ball but free hit comes next ball after the no ball where batsman knows he cant get out and can take advantage of the front foot no ball bowled on the previous ball.

when a bowler while bowling in a match oversteps during a delivery and the ball is a no ball then next ball the batsman on strike gets a free hit that's fielding captain can not change the fielding and the only batsman can get out on free hit is a run out . If he is bowled or caught during a free hit he is not given out.
