India’s Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal on Friday said recent match exposure and form influenced the team management’s decision to select N Sriram Balaji in place of originally-picked Ritvik Bollipalli for the doubles match in the tie against the Netherlands which begins on Saturday. Balaji and Bollialli had played against Switzerland in the previous away tie that Yuki Bhambri had missed.
“We got here early and played a lot of sets. Balaji has been playing back-to-back events and just came off a very good result in Bahrain. Ritvik is playing well, but hasn’t competed actively for one-and-a-half to two months,” Rajpal said.
