"This might be my finest bit of work yet…thrilled to announce the arrival of Taimur Hamza Kardar on 7th December 2021. Our hearts are full! Do keep us in your prayers," the television host wrote. 

Within 2 hours of having been posted, the adorable snapshot garnered more than 19,000 likes. That's not all, as fans flocked to the comments section and shared over 650 messages in which they sent their best wishes and prayers for both the mother and the baby.

"Masha Allah, best wishes for this cute baby may. May Allah bless him," a third follower commented. 

Zainab had announced that she was pregnant back in September 2021. The sports news had posted a photo with her "travel partner", breaking the news that she is expecting.

Taking to Instagram, Abbas wrote: "My travel partner [emoji of a baby] this past year. Feels more like a Test match rather than a T20."

"...but managed to weather the storm and carry on working throughout. Hoping this new journey is as rewarding as the previous one. Grateful," she had added.
