There will be five matches between these two 'arch-rivals' and will look to keep their unbeaten run going in the Davis Cup. The Indian tennis team entered the World Group 1 play-offs by beating Morocco 4-1 in the World Group II play-off last year.
A win against Pakistan will take them into World Group I that will be held in September later this year.
This is India's first Davis Cup visit to Pakistan since 1964. Talking about Bopanna, the veteran player bid farewell to Davis Cup tennis last year and as for Nagal, he pulled out of the tour down to personal reasons.
