Was the delivery bowled by Mohammed Nawaz really a noball to Virat Kohli in the final over of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022?

 

In the Cricket rule book it clearly states, that

Clause 41.7.1 of the Laws of Cricket, and the ICC's T20 World Cup playing conditions, confirm: "Any delivery, which passes or would have passed, without pitching, above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease, is to be deemed to be unfair."

And to be honest the ball does seem to have gone above the waist height of Kohli.

So according to rules it was really a no ball.

Additionally Kohli had also complained of the height of delivery on the earlier ball but was not given a free hit, however the second time the umpire gave India a free hit after contemplation.
