Beautiful Basketball Player Pratima Singh, soon-to-be wife of cricketer Ishant Sharma | Photos | Video

From time to time, we take a break from Bollywood celebrities to feature beautiful women in sports such as Dipika Pallikal and Sania Mirza. Now we focus on the tall basketball player Pratima Singh (see photo below), who is now making headlines for announcing her marriage to cricketer Ishant Sharma on December 9.

Pratima Singh was born in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh on February 6, 1990. She plays the small forward and shooting guard position for the Indian women's basketball team, at a commanding height of 5 feet 8 inches (or 1.73 meters). Her sisters are members of the national basketball squad (Priyanka, Divya, Prashanti and Akanksha).

Her skills on the hardcourt are quite amazing. She won a gold medal for India in the 1st three-on-three FIBA Asia Championship. Really really impressive. So is her beauty! Her soon-to-be-husband, cricketer Ishant Sharma must be proud of her!
