"the modern day maharajas"

Maybe an ironic deconstruction of the traditional caste system implicit in the comment?

Perhaps an NBL team could recruit a Dalit community member- You can't guard an untouchable.

As a vegetable farmer, he wouldn't be at the total opposite end of the caste/ class system though, but still humble background.

My guess is that Singh is a Sikh by birth, Singh would be his mother's name if I'm right. If he plays his cards right, he could make some good contacts for a business career after NBL. Kings could use this for some regional trial games on the north coast.

More than 10 km away from the nearest train station, Singh – a kabaddi player who didn’t know what basketball was until the age of 18 – seemed destined to follow in his father’s agricultural footsteps. But after being introduced to basketball by his uncle in 2009, the towering center found himself representing India at the Asian basketball championships just two years later at the age of 20,
