The upcoming IND vs ENG 2nd Test of the ongoing India vs England five-match Test series is set to unfold in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam. Following a disappointing 28-run defeat against the visiting side in the series opener in Hyderabad last week, Rohit Sharma-led team India aims to stage a strong performance in Vizag, restoring balance by leveling the series 1-1.
Ahead of IND vs ENG 2nd Test, set to kickstart from February 2nd onwards in Vizag, let's have a look at top records that can be broken during the high-octane clash.
Most Test Wickets For India: Ravichandran Ashwin, with 93 wickets for India in 20 Test matches against England, is on the verge of breaking Bhagwat Chandrasekhar's record of 95 wickets for India in Tests against England. Ashwin needs just three more wickets to surpass Chandrasekhar's tally and etch his name in the record books.
100 wickets in World Test Championship: Jasprit Bumrah, with 97 wickets in 23 World Test Championship matches, stands just three wickets away from reaching the milestone of 100 wickets in the WTC tournament. Presently, Ashwin is the sole Indian bowler to have achieved the feat of taking 100 wickets in the World Test Championship.
Most five-wicket haul for India in Tests: Ravichandran Ashwin, with 34 five-wicket hauls in 96 Tests for India, requires just one more fifer to equal Anil Kumble's record of 35 five-wicket hauls for India in Tests.
Most Runs For India In WTC History: Rohit Sharma, with 2215 runs in 28 World Test Championship matches for India so far, requires just 21 more runs to surpass Virat Kohli's record of 2235 runs. Upon achieving this feat, Rohit Sharma will become the highest run-scorer for India in World Test Championship history.
100 Test wickets for India in IND vs ENG Tests: Ravichandran Ashwin is on the verge of a significant milestone in India vs England Test matches history. He needs just 7 more wickets to become the first Indian bowler and the second overall, after the legendary James Anderson, to complete 100 Test wickets in matches between India and England.
Most Centuries For India In International Cricket: Rohit Sharma is closing in on a remarkable milestone in international cricket. He needs to score two more centuries to equal Rahul Dravid's tally of 48 centuries for India in international cricket. Notably, only Virat Kohli (80) and Sachin Tendulkar (100) have scored more centuries than Dravid for India in international cricket.
