Pakistan cricket team all-rounder Shoaib Malik has been dominating headlines since announcing his marriage with actress Sana Javed amid rumours of his divorce with Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza. While the off-field news led to a lot of debate on the internet, Malik has claimed a massive record on the cricket field. The veteran cricketer became the first Asian player ever and the second overall to score 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. He achieved the feat during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match between Fortune Barishal against Rangpur Riders and joined Chris Gayle in an elite list.
Malik also ended up taking a wicket as his side marched on to victory.
The Pakistan cricketer has already retired from Test and ODI cricket but he continues to play in the shortest format of the sport and will be available for selection in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Malik announced on Saturday that he has married a second time to the country's popular actor Sana Javed in Karachi, finally ending the speculations around his separation with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
The cricketer released his wedding photograph on social media platform X with his new wife, with the words "And We created you in pairs".
