I wish my father was alive today as he would've been very happy, but that's how life is. Whenever I go to the ground, I always call my mother before a match & get her prayers. Also, a big thank you at the same time to all my fellow players, ground staff members, fans and supporters."
Shoaib Malik isn't only a doting son, but also a responsible and caring father and husband, who never misses a chance to spend time with his son, Izhaan Mirza Malik and wife, Sania Mirza. It was in September 2020 when Sania and Izhaan had reunited with Shoaib in Dubai, and since then, they have been giving glimpses of their family moments on respective social media handles. From gazing at the Dubai skyline, while holding each other's hands to celebrating special occasions, or home-schooling Izhaan, the lovely couple made the most of their family time in Dubai.
