Former Test paceman Jason Gillespie reckons Australia should be tempted to pick Glenn Maxwell for the second test against India.

Gillespie labelled the victory as one of Australia's best overseas, if not the greatest in their history. But despite this said Australia should consider changing the team for Bangalore.

Gillespie identified Mitch Marsh as the player under the pump, saying he believes Maxwell is the better option for the second Test.

"I think it'd be unlikely (they'd make any changes)," Gillespie told EON Sports.

"I think the only guy under pressure to keep his spot will be Mitchell Marsh, who didn't bowl in the Test and is the back-up for the seamers.

"I think Mitch will stay in; he made 31 in the second innings in a low-scoring game so he's probably done enough, just, to hang on.

"But if they feel they can get away with two seamers, I'd be tempted to potentially play someone like Maxwell. He's a fine player of spin (and) I think he's an underrated long-form player.

"The reason I say that is he judges length very quickly and that's the key to batting. And I think on these surfaces he could be quite fearless and take the attack to the Indian spinners. And I think he could do a decent job.

"But I'd envisage in Bangalore, they'd need the back-up seam option. The wicket won't be as bad as it was in Pune so I think Mitch's bowling will be the real key."

Gillespie played in Australia's last Test series win in India in 2004. He was a key performer in the pace attack alongside Glenn McGrath and Michael Kasprowicz.

Gillespie said he believes this Australia side can replicate that success by winning this series.

"I think it's one of, if not the best performance by an Australian side overseas pretty much ever," he said.

"With everything that was going against them, I think it's right up there.

"I really do (think they can win the series). I don't see why not."
