After a group training session, 100 kids were later handpicked by prominent coaches, allowing them to hit it out with the players. Paes and Bopanna shared tips on how to think like champions. Officials from Guinness World Records were present to monitor and record the entire effort and to ensure that all stipulated rules and regulations were followed.
