Pink ball game favors fast bowlers so if next pitch favoring seamers then i doubt if Kuldeep is going to be selected in team or in squad. Indian might fancy 3 seamers (Bumrah-Ishant-Siraj) and 2  spin allrounder ( Axar-Ashwin) in the squad.
I have seen some matches played in the stadium during the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the pitch favors the spinners and some of the fast bowlers were economical as well, it is difficult to say how the pitch behaves for a Test match but spinners will be effective in the final two days and even in this match Kuldeep Yadav did not get much opportunity as he got only 12 overs the entire match while Ashwin bowled 41.5 overs and Axar Patel bowled 41 overs as well.

If majority of the load is shared by two bowlers then they should add another batsman who could bowl those overs rather than picking another fast bowler.
