New Delhi, June 30: A few days back she told the agressive India pacer, Ishant Sharma, is a very romantic guy, his lady love Pratima Singh, who is Indian women's basketball player, has revealed about the first time she met Ishant.

As per a report published in The Indian Express, Pratima has told their courtship bloomed on the courtside of the basketball facility at DDA Sports Complex in Vasant Kunj, five years back.

The love birds met each other in 2011, when the lanky India pacer turned up as chief guest for Delhi's Reebok IGMA Basketball Association (RIBA) League and was 'clean bowled'.

As per the report, Ishant chose to not sit stoically on the white VIP sofa on the dais, and instead hopped across the court to mingle with players. He was common buddies with Pratima's sister no. 4 Akanksha's St Stephen's College classmate. It was during this event when the Delhi pacer struck a friendship with Pratima, who'd dropped by to help her sister Divya organise the meet five years ago.

The Delhi-lad has never been in the news for his personal life unlike his other Team India mates.

According to Pratima, the Indian pace spearhead is a very decent and caring person.

"He's the most decent guy around and extremely caring. We have been dating for quite a few years and I feel he's the best guy in the world," Pratima was earlier quoted as saying.
