His place in the team could go to Gautam Gambhir, who was drafted into the squad for the first time in two years after opener Lokesh Rahul suffered a hamstring strain during the first test win in Kanpur.
The hosts completed a 178-run victory in Kolkata on Monday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
