(Daily point) — In a recent Pakistan Super League (PSL) match at Multan Cricket Stadium, Shoaib Malik’s new wife, Sana Javed, a well-known drama actress, was spotted cheering for her husband as he played for Multan Sultans against the Karachi Kings.
The couple, who announced their marriage last month, surprised fans who were previously under the impression that Malik was still married to Indian Tennis Star Sania Mirza.
This marks Malik’s third marriage, with his previous marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui in 2010. The presence of the newlywed couple at the cricket stadium garnered attention, and the crowd reportedly showed discomfort, leading to chants and backlash directed at them. The “Dunk” drama star responded with a stern look towards the crowd when chants of Sania Mirza’s name persisted.
Despite Malik’s impressive performance, scoring 53 runs off 35 balls with a strike rate of 151.43, Multan Sultans suffered a 55-run defeat in their opening PSL match against Karachi Kings. Malik has faced criticism from former cricketers like Abdul Razzaq, who labeled him a selfish player not playing for the team.
Karachi Kings, seeking their first victory in PSL season 9, will face 2017 PSL Champions Peshawar Zalmi at Gaddafi Stadium in their upcoming match.
