The video went viral on social media, showing Irfan's aggressive reaction towards his elder brother on the run-out. The incident happened in the 18th over of the game when Irfan and Yusuf were batting. Irfan wanted to take two runs, but Yusuf denied it, which led to the run-out. Irfan was seen shouting at his brother as wanted him to call before denying. After the dismissal, Dale Steyn, who was near the stumps, was seen laughing at the whole confusion moment while Irfan returned to the pavilion.
