MIAMI (USA): Adding to the joy of India's cricket World Cup triumph, veteran tennis players Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi won their second title of the season by clinching the Sony Ericsson Open to become number one in the ATP World Tour Doubles team rankings.

Third seeded Bhupathi and Paes rallied to beat second seeded Belarusian-Canadian pair of Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor 6-7(5), 6-2, 10-5.

Lara Dutta, who recently got married to Mahesh Bhupati tweeted "2 for 2!!! India is the world champion and @Maheshbhupathi and Leander Paes just won the Miami Open!!
How happy am I!!! :-)
“The key [to us winning] was just fighting as a team. Like Leander said, we didn’t play our best match of the week. All four of us were tentative in the beginning,” Bhupathi told Sony Ericsson Open after winning his first title in Miami
