Former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza witnessed their son Izhaan's first-ever participation in a sports competition and victory together.

Izhaan Mirza Malik has recently participated in a swimming competition organised by a private academy in the UAE. 

The couple has also attended the swimming competition and shared pictures on social media. Izhaan has won his first-ever sporting competition in front of his parents.

The cricketer, while celebrating Izhaan's first victory, wrote on Instagram, "Baba is super proud of ya... First competition & a win."

The Indian tennis ace shared glimpses of her son's swimming competition on Instagram Stories.

She also posted the photos of the father-son duo on Izhaan's Instagram account, captioning: "My first ever competition - first ever ????????'

A change in Shoaib Malik's Instagram bio a few months back sparked rumours of his divorce from Indian tennis star Sania.

Called the power couple, Shoaib and Sania remained in the headlines for quite a time last year for the reports of their alleged separation.

The two members of the athlete fraternity tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed their son, Izhaan Mirza-Malik in 2018.

However, after almost 12 years of marriage, their fans speculated Sania and Malik's relationship had gone sour in November 2022, following some of the events hinting something was not fine between them.

Despite the fans noticing some distance between the two, the cricketer rubbished the rumours multiple times and even posted messages for Sania on social media in a span of four to five months.
