For the first time in the last couple of years, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul are all fit and available for selection. That presents India with a dilemma of choice akin to a situation in chess called Zugzwang - when the only viable move is not to move. Virat Kohli alluded to the same on the eve of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Kolkata. "That situation has always been there. The balance has swung every now and then between two guys doing well and one guy missing out. It happened with KL initially then in between with Shikhar. And now that Shikhar and KL have been playing well, it's very difficult to pick two out of three when all three are so good," said Kohli.
