After yesterday's doubles loss, today's RamK's match was important for us to clinch this tie ... Finn stretched RamK in the first set but after winning the first set RamK dominated the match ... RamK won 12 games from next 13 games for complating tie win for India ... In last match Yuki faced some resistent from Statham but he overcame for winning in three sets ... So next India is having home tie against Uzbekistan in April under new non-playing captain Mahesh Bhupathi.
