New Delhi: In a big setback to the Indian Davis Cup team, country's leading singles player Yuki Bhambri was ruled out of the upcoming tie against Uzbekistan due to a knee injury yesterday.

The development on the first day of the preparatory camp means that at least one of the two reserve members — either Leander Paes or Rohan Bopanna — is certain to play. "Yuki is out of picture and it's bog blow. He was playing well this year. He had some pain, he had some tests and I found out two days ago," non-playing captain Mahesh Bhupathi told PTI after the first practice session of the team.
