Bangalore: Confetti and the loudly-played popular Bollywood number 'Chak de India' marked India taking an unassailable 3-0 lead against Uzbekistan in the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania tie on Saturday. But more than the song and smiling faces, the sight of Sriram Balaji, one half of the doubles match-winning pair with Rohan Bopanna, and Prajnesh Gunnaeswaran leading India's victory lap around the KSLTA Stadium was a happy pointer to the future. Bopanna and Balaji dismantled Uzbek's Sanjar Fayziev and Farruukh Dustov 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 in an hour and 23 minutes.
