Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Shoaib Malik, who is married to Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza, on Sunday night, met with a horrific accident after leaving the 2021 Pakistan Super League (PSL) draft event at the National High-Performance Centre (NHPC) in Lahore.
Regarded as one of the best all-rounders to play limited-overs cricket for the Men in Green, Malik’s luxurious sports car crashed into a truck near a restaurant close to NHPC.
As per a report on SAMAA TV, Shoaib was trying to overtake his teammate Wahab Riaz’s car when the accident occurred. While the 38-year-old tried his best to avoid an unfortunate mishap, he escaped unhurt, but the front part of his vehicle was destroyed completely.
Several Pakistan journalists have shared videos of the mangled car after the accident on their Twitter accounts.
