Multiple conditions and comparing two different data types using Ansible

I have ansible variable which is a dictionary time and I want to compare that with a string variable or comma separated input. Following is the playbook that I am trying to compile using

- hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: false

  vars:

    cluster:

      name:

        - "raj"

        - "kiran"

        - "Pavan"

    inputcluster: 

      - "raj"

  tasks:

    # inner.yml

    - debug:

        msg: "outer item={{ outer_item.cluster.name }} "

      with_items:

        - cluster:

            name:

              - "raj"

              - "kiran"

              - "Pavan"

      loop_control:

        loop_var: outer_item

      when: 

        - inputcluster 

        - outer_item.cluster.name == inputcluster`

I want echo statement to print only "raj" by comparing the string with the dictionary. How can I achieve that?

I think you have to loop over name list to match it and to iterate over two lists you need nested loop. This can do the trick.

- hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: false

  vars:

    cluster:

      name:

        - "raj"

        - "kiran"

        - "Pavan"

    inputcluster: 

      - "raj"

  tasks:

    # inner.yml

    - debug:

        msg: "outer item={{ item[1] }} "

      with_nested:

        - "{{ inputcluster }}"

        - "{{ cluster.name }}"            

      when: (item[0] == item[1])
