[[{“value”:”

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav on Friday said India will not hesitate from playing Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav together in the T20 World Cup if required, describing the selection conundrum surrounding the two spinners as a “very good headache”.

 “It is an added advantage that you have such good bowlers available. But at the same time, you also have to look at the combination, whom do you play against a certain opposition,” Suryakumar told the media on the eve of their T20 World Cup opener against the USA here.

“If there is a need to play two spinners, [or] two wrist spinners, then we will definitely play [them]. But yes, it is always good to have options like Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, two [of the] best spinners in the world and it is a very good headache,” he added.

The India skipper also  admitted that pacer Harshit Rana was “not looking good” after suffering a knee injury during the warm-up game against South Africa. ”Harshit Rana has not been ruled out yet, the physios are assessing him, but he does not look good,” he said.
