In a dramatic turn of events during the PSL 9 match between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings at Multan Cricket Stadium, Pakistan’s veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik’s new wife, drama actress Sana Javed, faced ‘Sania Mirza’ chants from the crowd. Despite Shoaib Malik’s stellar performance, scoring 53 runs off 35 balls, the couple’s presence triggered a controversial reaction from spectators.
The newlywed couple, who recently announced their marriage, attended the match to support Malik as Multan Sultans took on Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This marked Malik’s third marriage, and the couple’s public appearance stirred reactions, with the crowd chanting the name of Malik’s ex-wife, Indian Tennis Star Sania Mirza.
In a video, Sana Javed can be seen giving a stern look back to the crowd in response to the repeated chants of Sania Mirza’s name. Malik’s impactful innings, however, couldn’t secure a victory for Karachi Kings as they suffered a 55-run defeat in the opening match of their PSL campaign.
Shoaib Malik has faced criticism, with ex-cricketer Abdul Razzaq labeling him a selfish player who doesn’t play for the team. Karachi Kings will look to bounce back in their upcoming match against 2017 PSL Champions Peshawar Zalmi at Gaddafi Stadium, aiming for their first victory in PSL season 9.
