If he dislodges the bails before the ball is dead, in this case before it's gone for six, then it's out, I think.

if he didnt complete the shot or just completed the shot when the bails were dislodged, the batsman is out

From the replay you can say that the ball came in contact with the bat exactly when his legs dislodged the bails. If you don't consider connecting the ball enough for ruling it not out then the batsman is out I guess.

apparently he is out

then it comes to the sportsmanship

some will have a golden heart and give it out
some will discard it

There's no question about it. It is out. If he had dislodged the bail the moment after the ball crossed the boundary, then it would have been questionable... However, the ball was alive when he made contact with the ball. It is out

Virat was given out hit wicket against England, when he tipped over the bails, much after hitting the ball (when starting for a run)[DOUBLEPOST=1594503278][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yep. The ball has not yet become dead when the bails are dislodged. It's still in the air, actually. The ball only becomes dead after it is grounded beyond the boundary. No six, it's out.

EDIT: But a good scenario, though...to @AHP28

There are 7 minutes to go in the final day of a Test. The batting team requires 3 runs to win and are 232/9.

The bowling team seems ready to go, but then they decide to adjust the field. The captain still is not happy with his field, and he adjusts again. By the time the field is ready, there are only 3 minutes left. No extensions, as you have already taken the extension.

As the bowler runs in, the tail end batsman steps out of his stance, claiming something behind the bowler's arm. You look back. There is nothing that you can see.

What do you do?

(This isn't a right or wrong, it's what would YOU do?)

Warn them about wasting time. And get on with the game. That is the only thing I can think of.

Extensions in play are decided well in advance and isn't something that is decided on the spot. If you believe that there would be sufficient time to conduct the play then only you go ahead with the play. During the end of Test match the umpires communicate about this between every over or 2 regarding whether they can go ahead with the play or not. If you decide to go ahead with the play then you can't call it off before the over is bowled out unless the conditions like light doesn't allow to go ahead. As for me I don't remember any instance where the umpires have decided to get on with the play and then suddenly decide before the over is bowled out to conclude with the Day just because the time is up. Light issue though is a different factor altogether. These things should be considered by the match referee and they should issue warning points to the Captain responsible for slow over rate or just give an unofficial warning and ask them not to repeat this again. And as @Yash. mentioned just warn the players and ask them to quickly get on with it.

Seems to me that the bowling team wants the win, but the batting team wants to distract. But there are still 3 minutes of play to go. The over has to be bowled, even if it passes the time for the end of play.

Next question. We have seen batsmen run out without facing a ball. Can a batsman face a ball and still be run out without "officially" facing a ball?

EDIT: Can that batsman even score runs without officially facing a ball?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

If it's a no ball, officially the ball isn't counted to the teams tally

But it does get counted to batsman's tally

So that possibility is ruled out

-------

If we only see the first part of question. Then it's easy. Bowlers bowls an over the head bouncer. Batsman tries to attempt the shot. So technically he faced the ball. Wide ball is given. And the batsmen in the meanwhile try to take a single and keeper throws quickly at non strikers end and runs the striker out.

Keeper fumbles, striker comes back for two, keeper throws at striker's end and runs him out without facing a ball, even though he scored a run?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Then coming to can batsman score runs without facing

Keeper fumbles, striker comes back for two, keeper throws at striker's end and runs him out without facing a ball, even though he scored a run?

those will go in byes right

 

[CerealKiller]

those will go in byes right

Ok, suppose there was a nick

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

without "officially" facing a ball?

 

[CerealKiller]

Oh, ok, misunderstood the question

 

[Yash.]

Probably there’s no way of a batsman scoring runs without facing a ball
