Spin option: Dasgupta says three spinners, Kuldeep must be selected

Analyser and former cricketer Deep Dasgupta contended that India can confidently play three specialist spinners in the Sri Lanka Test matches and that Kuldeep Yadav’s place is non‑negotiable. He argued that the spin‑heavy composition aligns with the conditions and that Kuldeep’s record of 79 wickets in just 18 Tests, including five five‑wicket hauls, makes him an indispensable weapon. Dasgupta also pointed out Kuldeep’s recent form in the England One‑Day Cup as an indicator of his readiness.
