Former captain of Pakistan's cricket team Shoaib Malik seemed to observe a reflection of himself in his son as he shared a video of him on social media showcasing remarkable athletic skills.
Malik on Wednesday shared a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing his son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, smash an obstacle course with great agility while being assisted by a trainer.
Izhaan's athletic skills may not come as much of a surprise as both his parents, Malik and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, are known to be legends in the sports industry.
Malik captioned the post: "Fitness runs in the family. Like father, like son."
The former Pakistani all-rounder was recently seen hanging out with his son, celebrating the little one's fifth birthday on Sunday (October 29).
In the glimpses shared from his son's big day, the 41-year-old cricketer was seen spending some much-needed quality time with him in what looks like Sania Mirza's home in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The two members of the athlete fraternity tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed their son, Izhan Mirza-Malik in 2018.
