Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza introduce Izhaan to the world


Cricketer Shoaib Malik and tennis player Sania Mirza’s first baby together was probably one of the most anticipated children this year. Fans waited impatiently for the birth of their child ever since the star couple announced their pregnancy in the most amusing way back in April. And their decision to have a joint surname for the child got fans even more excited!

After a long wait, Mirza gave birth to Izhaan Mirza-Malik on October 30, 2018. Malik made the announcement via Twitter.

Although there’s been much buzz surrounding the bundle of joy, the two had not officially introduced him to the world. While Mirza had shared an adorable picture of Izhaan watching his father play, his face was not visible.

So it’s been 5 days since we came into this world .. Me as a mother and my little Izhaan as my son ❤️ we’ve even watched Baba play some cricket together since we’ve arrived it truly is the biggest match ,tournament achievement I’ve ever won or had and there is no feeling or blessing that can be greater than this.. I finally have gotten sometime after this overwhelming feeling to get online and check the msgs and love we have received. Shoaib and I feel truly blessed and humbled with the wishes and love that us as parents and Izhaan have received ❤️ Thank you to each and every one of you ..we love you right back! Love , Sania ,Shoaib and Izhaan @realshoaibmalik #Allhamdulillah
