But Sir most of the people are expecting that IAF might go for some 60+ MiG-35 along with 60-80+ Rafael and EF-2000s in combine. As the IAF was really looking in to both the fighters.... since the start...
That will create a headache for IAF if it gets 60+60 fighters of different types . One of the plan was to get 126 + 100 aircrafts , not sure though .

Would be interesting to know these "People". It would be a logistic and maintenance nightmare having so many different aircrafts in inventory.
Leave alone procurement costs, hypothetically even if IAF has so many aircrafts, servicing them would be prohibitively costly.

So is possible to see some MiG-35s and Rafales against Chinese in near future...

There are no Mig 35s, my friend. What you may see are maybe more Mig 29s. But, not 35s. I won,t be surprised if we see an increase in squadron numbers over the next 15 yrs with induction of more Su-30s and LCAs.
