India’s singles players will need to back their talent with some killer instinct for the team to emerge victorious against a reasonably strong Finland in the Davis Cup World Group I tie starting here on Friday.

Prajnesh Guneswaran and Ramkumar Ramanathan have the experience of playing the big matches. They need to deliver that knockout punch that will take India to the next year’s Qualifiers.

It will be Prajnesh (ranked 165) who will open the tie for India against Otto Virtanen (ranked 419). As the second-best ranked player from India, Ramkumar is up against Finland’s No. 1 Emil Ruusuvuori, who is placed 74 in the world, on the opening day of the tie.
