5 foreign cricketers who fell in love with Indian women

#4 Shoaib Malik

This is undoubtedly one of the most controversial and publicised weddings in the history of sport. No one seemed to have a clue when love blossomed between Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis queen Sania Mirza.

The two first met in Australia, where the cricketer lost a Test match against the Aussies and the tennis star had crashed out of the Australian Open.

While the rival nations compete with each other at each level to prove their superiority, the two lovebirds announced their marriage to the public. Comments and speculation from people started soon after that but Sania shut the haters up by saying: "I was not marrying a Pakistani, I was marrying a person. People try to make political statements but forget that we are human beings."

They got married on 2 April 2010 and the great part is both continue playing for their respective nations in their chosen fields.
