"The Indian team look strong, particularly after the return of their main players, but we still are confident because anything can happen in the court. We will do our best to give a fight to the Indian contingent," Indonesia's non-playing captain Hendri Susilo Pramono told reporters here.
Pramono said the team has not yet decided on who would play singles and doubles, however would take a call an hour before the draw.
"The team is expecting from me to perform. I cannot say. I will give my best," he said.
Talking about the courts at the KSLTA, Rungkat said the courts are pretty bouncy which suited his style of play.
"I had a hit at the ball yesterday on the courts and they are pretty good," he said.
Rungkat said there would pressure while playing Yuki Bhambri as he had a very close game last year in the Challengers match in Singapore.
Rungkat also said he is also looking forward towards facing Sanam Singh in the tie.
He said that it has been exciting to be in Bangalore for its attractive tourist value, hospitality, clubs and food served. "I have totally enjoyed my stay here," he said.
Rungkat said he has played four tournaments in India last year.
He said though Indonesia is a badminton-crazy nation, he preferred tennis because of the family background.
"My mom was a tennis player and played Fed Cup. I love the sport and have passion for it," he said.
