Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza have welcomed their first child on Tuesday morning. It was precisely 7:01 am when the acclaimed Pakistani cricketer took to Twitter to make this announcement.
“Excited to announce: It’s a boy, and my girl is doing great and keeping strong as usual #Alhumdulilah,” he tweeted, thanking friends and fans for wishes and prayers.

Indian tennis star’s sister Anam Mirza preferred Instagram over Twitter to break the news.

The power couple has been married for eight years. Since then, the Indo-Pak couple announced Sania’s pregnancy; people from across the borders have been invested in the matter.
The duo has been asked several weird questions regarding their child’s surname, nationality and the sports he would probably play.
Ever since the news has broken, #BabyMirzaMalik is trending on top on Twitter.
The celebrities from both countries have poured into wishes and congratulatory messages for the sports-couple and the baby.
Love waking up knowing that something beautiful and positive has simultaneously blessed Pakistan and India today. Welcome to the world #BabyMirzaMalik congratulations to proud parents @realshoaibmalik and @MirzaSania 🤗
