Sasikumar Mukund returned to Davis Cup action with a fluent straight-set victory while Ramkumar Ramanathan hardly broke a sweat in his match as an untroubled India took a 2-0 lead in the World Group I play-off tie against Togo, here Saturday.
There was not even a semblance of resistance from the players of the African nation, making it a pretty dull contest, watched by about 1500 fans.
