Traffic Officer Pulls Up Irfan Khan Over Seat Belt
In the viral footage, the traffic policeman can be seen speaking to Irfan Khan and reminding him about traffic regulations. The officer also jokingly asks whether the player should be fined for not wearing a seat belt.
The situation, however, remained friendly throughout, especially after the officer realised that the passenger was a Pakistan cricketer. As the conversation continued, the policeman also asked Irfan about the performance of his Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, Hyderabad Kingsmen, during the recently concluded season.
The moment has since generated significant traction online, with fans sharing clips and memes across various social media platforms.
Hyderabad Kingsmen’s Remarkable PSL 2026 Journey
Despite finishing runners-up, Hyderabad Kingsmen enjoyed one of the most memorable campaigns of the PSL 2026 season.
The franchise had endured a disastrous start, losing each of their opening four league matches and appearing headed for an early exit. However, the side scripted an impressive turnaround during the second half of the tournament.
Hyderabad eventually qualified for the playoffs and stunned former champions Multan Sultans and Islamabad United in knockout matches before falling short in the final.
Irfan Khan also continued building his reputation during the season as one of Pakistan cricket’s promising white-ball players. The batting all-rounder has already represented Pakistan in nine One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 14 T20 Internationals so far in his career.
