Shoaib Malik posts an adorable picture to wish Sania Mirza on her birthday

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza turned 31 today. Many fans and celebrities took to Twitter to send across birthday wishes. However, it was hubby and Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik’s wish that took the cake. One of the most talked about sporting couples aren’t together on the day and Malik is certainly missing his better half on the special day.

He posted a beautiful picture of the couple and tweeted: “Here’s to wishing my beautiful wife a magical birthday. Missing you” Twitter exploded with praises for the lovely couple. Twitterati loved the picture and hoped their bond to get even stronger with time.

Indian cricketer Suresh Raina also posted a birthday wish for Sania Mirza on Twitter.

He tweeted, “Happy birthday @mirzasania, your positive attitude and love for life has been instrumental in helping you shape such a successful tennis career and sail through all the ups and downs. Have a great one my friend! ”

Sania has won many major tennis titles through her career including the Wimbledon, French Open, US Open and Australian Open. She was recently also ranked number one in the World Doubles ranking. She has been regarded as one of the finest sporting personalities that the country has ever produced.

Like every sportsperson, she has had her own share of ups and downs. However, every time injuries have laid her down, she managed to raise her game and continue to achieve even more success. Pursuing her hobby of playing tennis since an early age of six, Sania has been an inspiration to a whole generation as she continues to shine in the international circuit.

Malik, on the other hand, has had a fairly successful second half of his career and would be hoping to take it to the peak before calling it time on his celebrated career with Pakistan.
