Nothing, not even a single poster, in this beautiful city suggests that an Indian team has crossed the border for a Davis Cup match after 60 long years. The Islamabad Sports Complex, the venue for the World Group I match, is not giving any buzz either, and the complex is out of bounds even for local media.

In a nutshell, the excitement and atmosphere, which is usually attached with an India-Pakistan match, is missing.
