Lee and I should team for gold in Commonwealth Games: Mahesh

''If India has to win gold in the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi, then Leander Paes and I have to pair up,'' Doubles ace Mahesh Bhupathi said.

Talking to reporters after winning his first-round match in the Aircel Chennai Open alongside his partner Rohan Bopanna, Bhupathi asserted that Paes and he were best equipped to land gold in the CWG.

About their chances in the Chennai Open, he said ''we are taking one match at a time.'' About the super tie-breaker, Bopanna said, it gave a chance for every team to even upset fancied partnerships, adding ''one can't take things for granted.'' It may be recalled that Leander and Mahesh formed the most potent pair in the world winning a series of Grand slam titles before they parted ways.

Their fairytale run started in the Chennai Open when they won three titles in a row and went on to win Grand Slam titles, forming the most potent combination in the world.
