Tennis star Sania Mirza and her Pakistani cricketer husband Shoaib Malik were blessed with a baby boy on Tuesday.
Sania's father, Imran Mirza, told The Hindu that the six-time Grand Slam winner delivered the male child at a private hospital in Hyderabad.
Shoaib tweeted : “Excited to announce: Its a boy, and my girl is doing great and keeping strong as usual #Alhumdulilah. Thank you for the wishes and Duas, we are humbled #BabyMirzaMalik.”
The couple have named their child Izhaan Mirza Malik. Izhaan, in Urdu, means God's gift.
Sania married Shoaib in a traditional Hyderabadi Muslim wedding ceremony on April 12, 2010.
