Young Indian Davis Cupper Yuki Bhambri today exuded confidence that veteran Leander Paes and the dependable Somdev Devvarman's presence in the Indian squad will help them win the Asia Ocenia tie against Indonesia, starting April 5.
"There is no reason why India should not win the tie, especially after having Leander and Somdev back into the squad. We always count on Leander who has been doing it for us for last 20 years. Somdev is in great form as well," Yuki told reporters here after the practice session at KSLTA stadium here.
Yuki said that the Indians are not taking Indonesia lightly, but are confident of pulling off the tie, especially playing in home conditions.
"We are playing the tie under home conditions which always is an added advantage," he said.
Yuki said the surface here has been relaid which suits the Indians, but only thing they have to get used to the condition and the bounce.
"However, courts around the world are generally similar. We have two more days to get used to it. I think it should be fine," he said.
On personal front, Yuki seemed happy that he remained injury-free till now and it provides him with a great chance of getting higher-up the rankings.
"One of the key concerns for me is to be able to play a full season," he said.
