Suryakumar Yadav (Getty Images) MUMBAI: Harshit Rana’s injury and uncertainty around Washington Sundar may leave India short of all-rounders, but the hosts remain well-stocked in the spin, with Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel forming a powerful trio capable of troubling the best batsmen, especially on Indian pitches.T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav said the team would not hesitate to play both Kuldeep and Varun together if the conditions and the opposition demanded it, calling the selection dilemma surrounding the top-class wristers a “very good headache”. The duo featured together only once during the recent five-match T20I series against New Zealand – India’s seven-wicket win in the second T20I in Raipur.

“It’s another advantage to have such quality bowlers,” Surya said on Friday. “But at the same time you have to look at the combination and the opposition. If there is a need to play two spinners — or two wrist-spinners — we will certainly do that. It is always good to have options like Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, two of the best spinners in the world. It hurts a lot.”Surya also hinted that India want to capitalize on Ishan Kis-han’s scintillating form, even if it means fielding top three left-handers Abhishek Sharma, Kishan and Tilak Varma. When asked if the overload of left-handers affects the management of the team, the captain again described it as a “headache”.“You enjoy watching fours and sixes hit, don’t you?” joked Surya. “I think it’s an overrated conversation,” he added. “You have played enough cricket at this level against left-arm spinners and offspinners.
