Athletes are finding innovative ways every day to deal with the ongoing lockdown in the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. From online gaming to workouts, sports websites nowadays are filled with reports of players sharing their daily routines while staying at home 24x7. Former doubles partners and India tennis superstars Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi too bonded over a 'frying pan challenge' on Thursday.
"Here’s a challenge for you guys while we’re in lockdown! How many can you do? I’m challenging all of you out there. Send in your entries with the #FryingPanChallenge, tag me, and I’ll share the best few! #TennisAtHome #StayHomeStaySafe #NoLookVolley #LockdownChallenge": Paes had posted a message on his Twitter handle along with a video of himself trying a rally with a frying-pan while looking at the camera.
The other half of yesteryears' highly successful tennis doubles pair, Bhupathi, was quick to respond with his own version of the challenge along with a video titled: "@Leander here you go, I tried your no-look, talking to the camera version but I don’t have that kind of skill so I went down in size to a mini frying pan to make it challenging".
