- R. Ashwin must be the trump card:

Billed not as a match winner, but rather as a “series winner” Ashwin has been simply phenomenal so far. With the wickets in the West Indies bound to support his off spin, his threat will simply amplify. In India’s previous two test series assignments, Ashwin was the Man of the Series in both. His on field battle with West Indies’ best batsman Darren Bravo will pretty much dictate the way in which the pendulum swings. Also with the bat, Ashwin can be relied upon to add some priceless runs with the tail.
