The couple has been married for almost a decade now. They are probably what some may call the most popular celebrity couple in Pakistan right now. Malik, being a former cricket captain of the Pakistan team, gets a lot of love from the fans out there. 

ICC’s special wish for Shoaib Malik

There were wishes flooding in from everywhere for the star cricketer. In addition to all this, he also got a special wish from the International Cricket Council. ICC uploaded a highlights package of one of Shoaib Malik’s best knocks. During the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa, he smashed 124 against arch-rivals India.

The century made Pakistan beat India in that crucial match in Centurion. To date, that win is one of only two victories that Pakistan has got against India in an ICC event match. Malik is going strong in various leagues and soon might produce another epic knock in the upcoming ICC World T20 2021, if he is called back in the side.
