Cricketer Shoaib Malik and tennis player Sania Mirza's first baby together was probably one of the most anticipated children this year. Fans waited impatiently for the birth of their child ever since the star couple announced their pregnancy in the most amusing way back in April. And their decision to have a joint surname for the child got fans even more excited!

Although there's been much buzz surrounding the bundle of joy, the two had not officially introduced him to the world. While Mirza had shared an adorable picture of Izhaan watching his father play, his face was not visible.
