At Davis Cup 2017 - World Group Play-off, Edmonton, Canada
Indian Davis Cup team for Canada tie - Yuki Bhambri, Ramkumar Ramanathan, Saketh Myneni, Rohan Bopanna
Reserves - Prajnesh Gunneswaran, N Sriram Balaji
Captain - Mahesh Bhupathi
Coach - Zeeshan Ali
The Indian team has been announced and they have selected Saki, bizzare selection ... I think it's premature to include Saki in this Davis cup tie, he is still a long way from gaining full match fitness ... May be for the doubles but I really doubt about his match fitness to survive on the court for the five setters.
