Badminton match between squash, tennis, and football players
AS FANS of various sports or sportspersons from different sports, there is always the thougt that it would be great to catch them competing against each other? So now here is a chance to catch a glimpse of that.
The game is badminton and the players are across sports. the way talks are going on, it looks like there will be more joining in.
It all started when tennis player Rohan Bopanna tweeted to badminton women's doubles player Ashwini Ponnappa:
By the way Ashwini ur included in a bet. Please ask Joshna to explain. :) @P9Ashwini @joshnachinappa .
— Rohan Bopanna (@rohanbopanna) July 14, 2015
After this Joshna Chinappa tweeted explaining what Rohan Bopanna meant and what the event would be:
@rohanbopanna @P9Ashwini You have to be there! A badminton match between Bops n Me! :)
— Joshna Chinappa (@joshnachinappa) July 14, 2015
Okay so looks like you fans are in for a treat, where you would see squash player Joshna and tennis player Rohan play a badminton player. So when one was expecting Ashwini to reply, football player Sunil Chhetri joined the conversation.
@joshnachinappa @rohanbopanna @P9Ashwini sorry to interfere but how much is the entry fee for this badminton tournament .#mkeen

Too good, players from squash, tennis, badminton coming together to play badminton while a football player is one among the audience who will be seen cheering. To everyone's surprise more and players joined the conversation, wanting to be part of the game. Tennis player Somdev Devvarman tweeted:
@rohanbopanna @chetrisunil11 @joshnachinappa @P9Ashwini can I also get in? If joshna and ashwini aren't scared to lose :)
— Somdev Devvarman (@SomdevD) July 15, 2015
Joshna later asks Sunil also to join the game, rather, be the audience. So far the team looks like Bopanna, Somdev and Sunil on one side while Joshna and Ashwini are on the other. When it looked like it is a little unfair on the girls as they had one player less, is when billiards and former snooker player Pankaj Advani joins the conversation and tweets:
@chetrisunil11 @joshnachinappa @rohanbopanna @P9Ashwini even I wanna be in this match! Only if Ashwini is my partner in doubles 😜
— Pankaj Advani (@PankajAdvani247) July 15, 2015
Ashwini Ponnappa has quite a fan following and because of that now the team looks evenly distributed with three players on each side. The final tweet in the conversation by Rohan Bopanna:
@P9Ashwini @PankajAdvani247 @chetrisunil11 @joshnachinappa @SomdevD , awesome. #LetsMakeThisHappenIndeed. 👍
— Rohan Bopanna (@rohanbopanna) July 15, 2015
The hashtag 'lets make this happen' should be trending and if and when this match happens it would be great fun for the fans to witness something like this. #ITONLYHAPPENSINSPORTS, ain't it true?
