T20 World Cup 2026: India won't hesitate to play 2 spinners - Suryakumar

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav on Friday said India will not hesitate from playing two spinners in the T20 World Cup if required, describing the selection conundrum surrounding Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav as a "very good headache". Both Kuldeep and Chakravarthy both played in India's last assignment before the T20 World Cup, a five-match series against New Zealand but was only in the second T20I at Raipur where the two featured in together, which India won by seven wickets. "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 that we can 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
