Vishnu Vardhan will play on all three days, taking on Kiwi number one Jose Statham in the second singles tomorrow before playing the doubles on Saturday, followed by the reverse singles on Sunday, according to India's non-playing captain S P Misra.

On day two, Vishnu will combine with Divij Sharan against the Kiwi pair of Michael Venus and Artem Sitak, while on the last day of the tie, Yuki will play Statham in the fourth rubber and Vishnu will face Daniel in the second reverse singles.

But if India could seal the fate on the first two days itself, then local lad Sanam Singh will certainly be playing on the last day in place of Vishnu.

 

Misra said he wants to keep Sanam fresh for the last day in case the fifth rubber becomes decisive.

"I am happy with the draw. Sanam won't play in all the three matches. It's important that we keep fresh legs for last day," he said after the draw took place at the Raj Bhawan here today. (MORE)
