Tennis star Rohan Bopanna was forced to pull out of India’s upcoming clash against Pakistan after suffering a shoulder injury. This also means that Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan will be receiving his much-awaited inclusion in the playing squad. Earlier on Monday, the 39-year-old underwent his scan and then announced his unavailability to Rohit Rajpal, the non-playing skipper. According to reports, Bopanna was supposed to be paired up with tennis star Leander Paes for the doubles which are scheduled to take place on November 29-30. Bopanna is still India's top-ranked doubles player and with his exit, the country's two best-ranked tennis star will be unavailable for the tie, due to Divij Sharan making himself unavailable for his wedding reception.
