Somdev holds key against South Africa in Davis Cup
Johannesburg, Sep 17 (PTI) Somdev Devvarman yet again holds the key as the Indian Davis Cup team, sans Leander Paes, take on hosts South Africa from tomorrow to stake claim of a berth in the World Group after 11 years.
The duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have always given India an edge in the doubles rubber but the last minute pullout of Paes has made things slightly tricky for India.
Now Rohan Bopanna is likely to do double duty. He has to pair with Bhupathi against Jeff Coetzee and Wesley Moodie, a pair capable of giving India a run for their money.
Then Bopanna, who is coming back from a knee injury, will have to play two singles as well which means he will be in action on all three days of the tie
