Embarking on a historic journey to Pakistan after six decades, India aim for victory in the Davis Cup 2024 World Group 1 playoff tie on Islamabad’s grass court. The India vs Pakistan Davis Cup 2024 game will be streamed live on Tennis Channel and Indian fans can watch the same through Samsung TV+.
Despite missing top-ranked singles players Sumit Nagal and Sasikumar Mukund, India are determined. Nagal, reaching the second round of the Australian Open 2024, opted out last month. World No. 463 Ramkumar Ramanathan will lead the Indian charge, with Ali doubling as coach and non-playing captain. In contrast, 43-year-old Aisam-ul-Qureshi will lead the Pakistan contingent.
India holds a dominant Davis Cup record against Pakistan, winning all seven encounters. The most significant victory occurred in 1962 when India triumphed 5-0 in Lahore. As both teams gear up for this historic clash, the significance of the moment is heightened by the lengthy gap since the last visit to Pakistan.
The last encounter between the two nations in Pakistan was in 1964, resulting in India’s comprehensive 4-0 win. Led by Zeeshan Ali, the Indian team arrived in Pakistan on Monday, comprising a 10-member contingent, including players, support staff, and coaches. Notably, in 2019, diplomatic tensions led to relocating the Davis Cup tie to Kazakhstan.
