Pakistan cricket legend Shoaib Akhtar revealed on Sunday the pictures of his son and we can’t help but swoon.
The fast bowler on March 10 tweeted that he will reveal picture of a special person the next day.
To my dearies: I'd like to reveal a human life which makes my world go these days. Watch this space tomorrow. Any guesses who cud that be?

It was followed by pictures of his son, Muhammad Mikaeel Ali. Much like everyone, the former cricketer too used phrases such as “my piece of heart”, “my bundle of joy” and “my sunny boy” to describe his son.

His other tweets were full of cricket jokes with him trying to teach his son sign for a sixer but the infant refusing to follow his dad.
I was teaching him the "SIX" sign but looks like my Champ wasn't keen. Did I hear someone say 'a bowler's genes'? pic.twitter.com/7HXEjNETrt
