The incident happened in the ninth over of the innings with Shahbaz Ahmed being the bowler. Shabaz bowled a delivery outside the off stump to which Shubman Gill attempted to play the cut shot. He was however beaten and wicketkeeper Anuj Rawat appealed for a catch.

However, wicket-keeper Anuj Rawat collected the ball with his hands in line with the stumps and deemed it a no-ball, much to the agony of RCB.
According to the ICC law 27.3.1,The wicket-keeper shall remain wholly behind the wicket at the striker’s end from the moment the ball comes into play until a ball delivered by the bowler
