From Wickets to Weddings: Shoaib Malik's Quirky Career, Third Marriage

The Buzzing groom

Pakistan cricket legend Shoaib Malik is making headlines for his third marriage to actress Sana Javed, trending on social media.

Beyond the Game

Previously married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, now married to Sana Javed, sparked social media buzz.

A look back at his achievements in cricket

5th Longest ODI Career

Shoaib Malik stands tall as the 5th player with the longest ODI career, spanning an incredible 19 years and 145 days. Legendary Sachin Tendulkar holds the top spot having played for 22 years and 91 days.

6th Most Consecutive ODI Ducks

While known for his batting prowess, Malik also holds the (perhaps less desirable) record of having 3 consecutive ducks in ODIs vs New Zealand. This unusual feat in 2004 adds a surprising twist to his career narrative.

Most T20I Matches for Pakistan

A true ambassador for Pakistan in T20 cricket, Malik leads the pack with the most T20I appearances for his country, playing in 124 matches. His commitment and consistency have cemented his place as a T20I legend for Pakistan

Longest T20I Streak Without a Duck

Maliks batting prowess shines in T20 cricket, demonstrated by his remarkable feat of playing 69 consecutive T20I innings without scoring a duck for Pakistan. David Miller holds the top spot, overall.

ODI Brilliance: A Statistical Summary

Beyond individual records, Maliks overall ODI career deserves recognition. He hammered staggering 7534 runs, claimed 158 wickets. These numbers solidify his place as one of the best ODI players of his generation.

Looking Ahead

While his marriage announcement dominates headlines, Malik remains available for T20I cricket. Will he make a comeback to the field and add to his already remarkable legacy? Only time can tell.
