DPL: Rishabh Pant, Ishant Sharma ready to fire for Purani Dilli 6
Purani Dilli 6 will face South Delhi Superstars (DPL) in their opening match of the tournament scheduled for August 17 at 8:30 pm, with subsequent games at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
Although the Ishant Sharma-Pratima Singh love story is not that glamorous and well known as some of the others like Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma or Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stankovic but that it is because of obvious reasons. The Indian pacer likes to have a low-key life off the field and is not like a Hardik or Virat who would want the light to fall on them.
Although fans are aware that Ishant’s wife Pratima is a basketball player, not many are aware of how love blossomed between the duo.

“I saw Pratima at a local basketball tournament organised by my friend, where I was chief guest. It was love at first sight for me. In fact, I knew I wanted to marry Pratima since Day One,” said Ishant Sharma on Cricbuzz’s show Spicy Pitch.
“I started going to the tournament regularly from the very next day. But, I was shy with her at that time. I would not even talk to her. It was only before an Australia series, I gave her a hint that I need to talk to her on something really important. It took me one year to woo her and only after that, I proposed to her, ” he added.
After dating each other for more than five years, the two got married on 9 December 2016.
