Indian Tennis Icon Leander will finally play at Rio Olympics. A late decision taken by AITA.
Rohan Bopanna will pair with Leander Paes while Sania will join Rohan in Mixed doubles.
The rumor and speculation is this that highest office of India asked for the explanation why Career Grand Slam winner Indian Icon not in Rio list; Post that AITA hurried to include Mr. Leander Paes in the Rio Team.But the speculation is not confirmed by any officials.
If every time players has to go through Saurav Ganguly fate then it is very bad. We need to fix our sports organizations with more professional managements.
We wish Leander all the best and a Gold for India in Olympic at Samba Land.
Congratulations @Leander for being selected for the Olympics for the seventh time. A great honour

We have a tendency of mistreating our champions. How can Mr Bopanna decide @Leander isn't good enough for Olympics https://t.co/khNIYxvVmS
