Axar Patel 

One of the Indian players who can get opportunity in the second Test against West Indies is Axar Patel. The pitch in the first game was very much similar to Indian pitches and it assisted spinners a lot, who did a terrific job. The pacers didn’t have much role to play in the first game as most of the damage was done by the spinners. Therefore if the pitch in the second game will be similar to first one, it’s fair to say that Axar Patel will be there in the team and is likely to replace Shardul Thakur in the team. The all-rounder has been terrific in spin friendly conditions and if given opportunity, it’s expected that he will set the stage on fire. 

Mukesh Kumar 

Another Indian players who can get opportunity in the second Test against West Indies is Mukesh Kumar. has been one of the finest bowlers that have been toiling hard yards in the domestic circuit. The right-arm pacer has been part of the Indian setup as well but hasn’t made his debut yet. He has been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit and has taken 149 wickets in 39 games. It’ll be great opportunity to test him because of the fact that India is under transition and they are in need of some fresh players.
