Shoaib Malik’s marked a prolific performance, put runs on the scorecard and singlehandedly cruised Pakistan towards victory over Sri Lanka.

Don’t think anyone in Pakistan cricket handles a presser as well as Shoaib Malik does ???

Well?
Every knock Shoaib Malik plays makes me think how Mohali 2011 would have been different had he been there ahead of Misbah. #KINGMALIK

Sania Mirza, sitting in the stands, cheered for her husband. We already know how much possessive she is about her husband. So, just when he was pictured on this bike, she wanted to ride with him. Sania Mirza went like:

What a great time Malik is having… Top-notch performances, support of fans, support of the board and most importantly, love and support of his wife. They are a great couple, we must add and it’s great to see them showing support and love for one another. Set a great, great example for people out there!
Sri Lanka’s entry to Pakistan was another step towards the revival of International Cricket in Pakitan. Malik’s half-century was really good too and we wish to see the best of him in times to come now!
