What is the no ball rule in cricket?
While bowling, when the bowler's foot goes beyond the line, that ball is considered a no ball. Apart from this, if the full toss ball remains above the batsman's waist then it is declared a no ball. When the umpire feels that the bowler is throwing, he calls a no ball. It is a no ball even if the ball hits the ball twice before reaching the batter. Even if the ball stops before reaching the batsman, it is a no ball. Even if more than two fielders are present behind square (behind the stump line) on the leg side, the ball is a no ball. Even if the bowler hits the stumps at the non-strike end while bowling, the ball is declared no.

Virat Kohli was batting out of the crease
The full toss ball bowled by Harshit Rana to Virat Kohli seemed as if it was going above his waist, but despite this the umpire did not give a no ball. The umpire did not give no ball because at that time Virat Kohli was batting out of the crease. When his bat made contact with the ball, he was standing on his toes. The umpire declared Harshit's full toss valid as it came out of the crease. If Virat had remained in the crease, the angle of the ball would have been below his waist and it would not have been a no ball. For this reason the umpire declared Virat out.
