KL and Sundar still not fit

Finally sanity prevails among the selectors.  Best wishes to S Iyer and Vihari.   Hope they score well and put the last nail in the coffin of PuRane.

Jayant cause ashwin's isn't totally fit yet. Sundar, Axar not fit as well.

Sorry didn’t see the other thread. Mods, please merge the two threads

Without Axar Patel, the spin dept looks little depleted.   Axar has the added advantage of height factor.  I remember, lankans did not hv any issue facing ashwin and jaddu on their last tour to India (2017).  They are usually good players of spin. So, our pacers need to step up.
