Day Three

[R5] Yuki Bhambri (IND,368) vs Jose Statham (NZL,417)

In the last minute Saki withdrawn from the tie with his injury and then AITA took bizzare decision of including Vishnu Vardhan on his place ... They should have included Prajnesh as he is in Pune as reserve player, otherwise what use in selecting players as reserves for the tie ... AITA contacted Rohan Bopannabut he declared his unavailability so they asked Vishnu, who immediately respond and reached Pune for this tie ... So suddenly this tie become interesting.

So for this tie, RamK is our top player and playing second match against experienced Jose Statham ... Yuki is playing in the first match against their top player Finn Tearney.
