Bopanna's regular partner Matthew Ebden of Australia chose not to participate in the ATP 500 event.
Bopanna has had stints partnering Dodig in the past -- in 2017 and 2021 -- with their best result being reaching the final at the 2017 ATP Montreal Masters 1000 event.
The 44-year-old Indian won two titles this year -- Australian Open Grand Slam event and Miami Open.
Bopanna and Ebden had lost in the round of 16 stage in the US Open doubles earlier this month.
