The report quoted him as saying, "The law is equal for everyone." After the incident, Afridi posed for photos with police officers.

Later, the 42-year-old hailed the cops for their courteous behavior. He also recommended raising the limit to over 120 kmph.

The former all-rounder was a well-known player in his day and was regarded as one of the game's most ruthless batters. Over the course of a career spanning more than 20 years, he played for Pakistan in 398 ODIs, 99 T20Is, and 27 Tests. In the 50-over format, he had a strike rate of 117, and in the shortest one, it was a staggering 150.

The former Pakistan skipper has amassed 8064 runs and six centuries in ODIs. In fact, he maintains the record for the third-fastest ODI century ever. Against Sri Lanka in 1996, the all-rounder had reached the triple figures in just 37 balls.

Afridi also has nine five-wicket hauls in the 50-over format, with his best bowling stats being 7/12. In ODIs, he has taken 395 wickets overall.
