Tennis icon Leander Paes, who has floored many an opponent on the court, was himself grounded while riding a battery-operated cycle at the parking lot of Metro Cash & Carry on Friday.

Paes was the star attraction at the launch of the battery-operated e-cycles made by a private company.

Paes aced a better part of the ride but lost control while climbing down the stage and fell off the cycle. But true to his comeback spirit, he was back on his feet within a few seconds.
