Happy Birthday Ishant Sharma: Meet the strong lady behind successful pacer, his wife Pratima - In PICS

On 10th December 2016, Ishant tied knot with Indian basketball women’s team player Pratima Singh. The couple complement each other professionally and personally. 

Ishant and Pratima are one of the most loved couples and their fans and teammates are often seeing showering them with love.

Pratima Singh was born on 6th February, 1990 in the Shivpur area in the holy city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. Born in Varanasi, her siblings have also either played or are playing for India – her sisters Divya and Priyanka have represented Indian National Women’s Basketball Team, while Prashanti Singh an Arjuna Award and Padma Shri winner is the current captain of the team.

She is a product of Jesus and Mary College (2008–09) in New Delhi, she won many ‘Best Player’ titles at the university level. Her peers in college knew her as someone with a lot of style. She won a gold medal for the country in the first 3×3 FIBA Asia Championship.

Pratima has stood like a rock in Ishant's life. She was there when he went through a difficult time in international cricket. Ishant was ousted from the white-ball team and his place was not secure in the Test side as well. But he hung on and worked hard to get better. Ishant has now played over 100 Test matches and has to his name over 300 Test wickets. Pratima's support has played a huge role in him achieving this. 

We wish Ishant a happy birthday once again.
