After the wedding marathon of Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech, it was the pacer Ishant Sharma, who tied the nuptial knot with his ladylove Pratima Singh.
However, most of us do not know who Ishant’s better half is. Well, she is a famous basketball player. The 28-year-old cricketer tied the knot with Indian Women’s National Basketball team member, Pratima Singh, on December 9.
The couple met each other for the first time in 2011 when Ishant was invited as the chief guest for Delhi’s IGMA Basketball Association League. The event was arranged by one of his friends, who is Pratima’s sister.
Since Pratima had an injury she could not play and was handling the part of the scorer. Unaware of the fact that she is a Basketball champ, the cricketer joked that scorers are pretty here. This is when his friend corrected him and introduced him with the champ.
Later, he searched for in Facebook and sent her a friend request. However, it took his wife two years to accept his Facebook friend request. Eventually, the two exchanged numbers and started talking to each other.
After sometime, Ishant proposed to Pratima and she accepted. They got engaged June 19, 2016, in Pratima’s hometown, Varanasi. The wedding ceremony took place at the Notting Hills farmhouse, Gurugram.
