If a metallic ball is place inside a giant hollow top, and the top starts to rotate. Along with the top, the metallic ball will also start to rotate. Thus my question is the ball motion is under inertial frame of reference or non-inertial ?

If the metallic ball is rotating, a frame of reference where the ball is not moving is non-intertial.
 
Means is the ball under non-inertial frame of reference?

The ball is under constant acceleration, therefor it is in a non-inertial frame of reference.
