Under her leadership, Delhi won several medals like the Junior National Championship in Bhilwara, Rajasthan.

Singh even led the Delhi University team in All India Inter-University Games, Kottayam, Kerala, 2010, and secured the gold medal.

How did Ishant Sharma meet his wife?

It was in 2011 when the Indian pacer was invited as the chief guest at Delhi’s IGMA Basketball Association League, which was being organized by Ishant’s friend and Pratima’s sister.

Pratima, who was injured at that time, was a scorer at the tournament. Ishant joked to his pal that the scorers at that tournament were pretty as he was totally oblivious to the fact that Pratima was also a professional basketball player.

It was love at first sight for the Indian cricketer and he already had intentions of marrying Pratima after the very first time he saw her at the event. The duo was later introduced by a mutual friend and it wasn’t until after a couple of years that Pratima accepted his friend request on Facebook.
