While the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown has moved sports enthusiasts and newbies indoors, halting their regular practice sessions, they have managed to turn the tables on these limitations and are finding new ways to carry on. With no access to the outdoors, people are reinventing how they play sports with the resources available to them at home, and to that end, have got their creative juices flowing. 

Adding to the momentum, Indian table tennis players Manika Batra (@manikabatra_TT) and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran (@sathiyantt) joined the conversation on Twitter and shared interesting tips and tricks.

When training with one hand is just not good enough😉

Commenting on this, Manika Batra (@manikabatra_TT), Indian star paddler said, “It feels great to engage with people during this lockdown. Twitter is a great place to have conversations and I am glad that we are able to spread and create awareness about staying fit while at home through the service. I hope this will motivate fans to stay positive and active during these difficult times.”

Both the players also interacted with fans through Twitter Q&As and answered questions on the service. Manika (@manikabatra_TT) shared her quarantine routine, her favourite Bollywood actors and gave an encouraging message for young players, whereas, Sathiyan (@sathiyantt) answered questions on players he follows, his favourite childhood cartoon and revealed that he would love to have a match with master blaster Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt).

Haha that’s one thing which I have not yet tried out as I do care a lot about my mom’s health😜😉 https://t.co/gEemlpp5SX

— Sathiyan Gnanasekaran (@sathiyantt) May 15, 2020

My favorite actors are Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal https://t.co/cTXAqWbHGL

I have tried my hand on gardening , ventured into Yoga and probably looking to learn some new language (may be little bit of Japanese) to prepare myself for Olympics😉 https://t.co/befWxdUCe0

— Sathiyan Gnanasekaran (@sathiyantt) May 15, 2020

An age is good to start playing but if we talk about childrens to be a champion then 3 and half or 4 is the good age to hold a racquet in your hand. https://t.co/8U4LJ7YidE

— Manika Batra (@manikabatra_TT) May 15, 2020

Haha I am not that great at playing Cricket and don’t want to embarrass myself, I would definitely love to play a game of TT with @sachin_rt sir and teach him some skills !!

I would also be very keen to know on how he developed the liking for TT😍 https://t.co/URuIcQoBPE

— Sathiyan Gnanasekaran (@sathiyantt) May 15, 2020

Popeye😁 https://t.co/vIBqqVof3z

Recently, the Pandya brothers too challenged each other to a game of at-home table tennis.

In fact, they are not the only ones. Twitter India (@TwitterIndia) asked people to send pictures of their makeshift table tennis set-ups and they reverted with some jaw-dropping videos, including para-badminton athlete Manasi Nayana Joshi (@joshimanasi11), take a look:
