Bangalore, Sept 13 (IBNS): In a crunch game, senior Indian pair of Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna defeated Serbia's Ilija Bozoljac and Nenad Zimonjic in the doubles rubber to keep the team's hope alive in the Davis Cup by BPN Paribas World Group play-off at the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association courts here on Saturday.

The match lasted for two hours and 58 minutes.

On the first day Serbians won both the singles as they are ahead of India by 2-1.
