Indian fans want 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer, who is all set to star in the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL), launched as part of the Indian Aces, to ride elephants, rickshaws and take a dip in the Ganges during his visit.

Initially Rafael Nadal had been selected to be a part of the Indian Aces, but due to the Spanish's tennis player's illness Federer has received a late call up as his replacement to take part in the inaugural money-spinning IPTL launch.

After breaking the news via his Twitter account, Federer asked his followers to Photoshop him in places to visit while in India, and post the images to Twitter using the hashtag #PhotoshopRF, The Mirror reported.

Federer's followers heeded his call and took the Swiss tennis ace on a virtual tour of India, and photoshopped him in various Indian tourist spots. One Twitter user suggested he takes an elephant ride, and another asked him not to forget to take a dip in the Ganges.

One more Twitter user posted that Federer must lead an expedition into the dunes of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, as it is his destiny. Another said Federer should take a selfie while gorging on 'jalebis', adding that he would love it. A user also tweeted that Federer should not forget to take a 'rickshaw'.

 All these tweets were in response to Federer's initial post that said that he was looking forward to playing two matches in Delhi on December 7 and 8, adding that he was beyond excited. He asked his followers to show him where he could visit using the hashtag '#PhotohsopRF' and that he would retweet the best pictures.

Federer was clearly pleased he was with all his fans' suggestions.

The IPTL is made up of four teams; the Manilla Mavericks a side containing the likes of Andy Murray and Maria Sharapova, UAE Falcons with Novak Djokovic and Caroline Wozniacki, Singapore Lions boasts Serena Williams and Tomáš Berdych while the Indian Aces claim Federer, the report added.
