Pakistani cricketer Irfan Khan Niazi was caught on camera in a light-hearted but awkward traffic stop after a warden pulled him over for not wearing a seatbelt.
The viral incident, which also involved his younger brother, quickly made the rounds on social media after what began as a routine traffic check turned into a friendly cricket chat.
According to the clip, the traffic warden stopped Irfan and his brother for violating seatbelt rules. But instead of keeping the interaction strictly official, the conversation soon shifted to Irfan’s performances for the Hyderabad Kingsmen in the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11).
The warden was seen discussing the team’s run in the tournament, including the playoffs, big sixes, and key moments involving Peshawar Zalmi’s Abdul Samad and Aaron Hardie’s knock in the final against Hyderabad.
He also brought up Hunain Shah’s dramatic final over in Eliminator 2, where Hyderabad defended just six runs against Islamabad United.

Irfan and his brother appeared to jokingly try to talk their way out of the challan, but the warden responded with humor of his own, teasing the batter about how much he earns for hitting sixes in the PSL.
He then told them that both would still have to pay a Rs. 5,000 fine, while reminding them that traffic rules are meant for their own safety.
The exchange ended on a cordial note, with the warden and Irfan shaking hands before going their separate ways.
The video has since gone viral online, with many social media users enjoying the mix of cricket banter and law enforcement, while others pointed out that celebrity status still should not excuse traffic violations.
