It is a known fact that Shoaib Malik will always receive special treatment from India, as he married to India’s Tennis star, Sania Mirza. He will be the cynosure of the eyes when he takes on the field for Pakistan against India. Another such incident took place when the Indian fans showed their love for Shoaib Malik by calling Jiju (brother-in-law). Meanwhile, Sania Mirza made fun of it.

Shoaib Malik acknowledged the Indian fans when they were continuously shouting Jiju. It was a fun-filled moment which was later shared by Sania Mirza with a witty line on her Instagram story.

As it happened –

It was the second game between India and Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2018 in Dubai. After losing the first game, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the crucial match at Super Four stage.

Pakistan started pretty poorly with their bat by handing the primary advantage to the Indians. However, the little fight by the middle-order and tail-enders helped them to put a competitive total on the board.

In reply, they never looked like tackling Indian openers. The classy duo Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma kept Pakistan fielders chasing the leather often than not. They both notched up fantastic hundreds to thrash Pakistan convincingly.
