Yuki Bhambri is expecting that Leander Paes and Sanam Singh will do will in the doubles rubber as India will take a decisive 3-0 lead against Indonesia in the Asia Ocenia Group I tie at the KSLTA here tomorrow.
"I am expecting my team do well in tomorrow's doubles match. We have a good team," he told reporters in the post-match press conference.
India's non-playing captain S P Misra said he was happy with Yuki's performance, beating No 1 Indonesian player with confidence.
"Leander and Sanam are good players but we have not seen Indonesians play doubles. We will see what happens tomorrow," Misra said when asked about tomorrow's match.
Talking about the first match, Somdev Devvarman said he served well against Wisnu Adi Nugroho, but it was a tough game as he played him for the first time.
"I adjusted to his style of play before studying his movements initially and came through by dominating him," he said.
In the second set, Wisnu tried to play an attacking game, but could not make any inroads to topple India, Somdev said.
"We have two more matches to go. I am confident of doing well," he said.
Asked about his shoulder injury, Somdev who was out of action for sometime last year, said he worked a lot in the US for his recovery.
"I am grateful to my coach for working on my consistency of serving and backhand shots," he said.
