MUMBAI: Just as he back-pedalled in defence, Ulhas KS took a sharp step forward to intercept a pass. He then charged up the court a few paces before delivering a pass to a teammate, who went on to score. In the space of just a few seconds, the 26-year-old from Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu became the first-ever Indian to play in and make his mark in the top-flight Serbian National Basketball League, Division 1.

"All I have been through in my journey, all the performances and hard work, it has led to this," Ulhas tells HT over the phone from Serbia, where he plays for Novi Pazar.
