Tennis stars Martina Navratilova, Leander Paes, Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi descended on Kolkata on Wednesday in a prelude to the Indian Premier Tennis League 2015, which kicks-off in Kobe, Japan, on December 2.

In an exhibition match before a huge audience, Sania and Mahesh Bhupathi beat Navratilova and Paes 7-5, 7-5.

Also in the crowd was West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who later graced the court with Sania, who gave the lady something like a brief tennis lesson.

One wonders what the Indian doubles tennis sensation, currently the world women's doubles champion, told Ms Banerjee as she attempted a forehand shot.
