Indian tennis legend Leander Paes has joined the fun of quirky social media challenges  by throwing a no-look 'frying pan challenge' for his fans. Taking to his Twitter, Leander wrote, “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 posted.

Paes’ challenge caught the attention of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) - who posted it on their official Twitter account. Mahesh Bhupathi, former doubles partners of Paes, took to social media to share his views about Paes’ challenge. “Guy can volley with anything,” he wrote. Bhupathi took up the challenge and also posted his video. “@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,” he captioned his post.
