Team India will look to complete a series white-wash when they face West Indies in the second and final Test at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad from Thursday (July 20).

Rohit Sharma-led India registered a comprehensive innings and 141 runs victory over Kraigg Brathwaite's West Indies in the series opener last week at the Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica, where Indian spinners bamboozled the hosts.

So, that may lead to either Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli or Ajinkya Rahane to make way for the Maharashtra batter in the second Test as Team India will see this match as the best chance to test his ability in the red ball on the international stage.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who was impressed with Jaiswal after the youngster scored a brilliant 171 on his Test debut, feels Gaikwad could do exactly the same if given a chance. "There's a lot of those young Indian guys that I can't wait to see play Test cricket and yet you look at their domestic records as well and you can't help but be impressed," Ponting said in ICC review.

"I'm on record saying that I think (Ruturaj) Gaikwad's the same (as Jaiswal). I think he could be a very serious Test match player or all-format player really in the next couple of years." It is very likely that, if Gaikwad is brought into the playing 11, he could either replace Gill at number three or Rahane, who is very likely to be phased out soon, at number five as India have failed to find solution for those positions.

Thakur to make way?

Another spinner to be brought in? After West Indies' struggle with spin, India may look at bringing in Axar Patel, who is no mug with the bat, to the playing 11. Although he will get less opportunity to bowl with Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja expected to do the bulk of the bowling, Axar can definitely be a handy option for the skipper. If Axar comes into the playing 11, it will be to replace Shardul Thakur, who is also in the side as the bowling all-rounder. Having seen much assistance for spin in the first Test, India may need to take a call on the bowling attack after looking at the wicket for the second Test.

Mukesh Kumar set for debut - Pace Attack to see change?

The Indian pace attack for the first Test was Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat. Mukesh Kumar, who is yet to earn a cap and Navdeep Saini are the other two pace options. Like testing Gaikwad, India may look at handing Mukesh also his Test debut.
