family

which has produced 4 Indian basketball players

Belonging to the famous quartet of 'Singh sisters', all of whom represent India in international basketball, 28-year-old Pratima Singh tied the nuptial knot with Indian pace bowler Ishant Sharma in December 2016.

Pratima started her playing career in 2006 and is still part of the Indian team that is led by her sister Akanksha Singh. Born in Varanasi, Pratima met Ishant at a local basketball match in Delhi where the latter was invited as chief guest.

Nursing an injury, Pratima was the scorer in that match and caught the attention of the lanky Indian pacer who was invited to the event by one of Pratima's sisters who happened to be his friend.

Indeed, the 5 ft 8 in tall basketball player served to be the perfect match for the 6 ft 4 in tall Ishant Sharma.
