IND vs ENG 5th Test: Top Records To Be Broken

Take a look at some key records that can be broken during the India vs England 5th Test.

2/6

Kohli's Century Record

With another century in this Test serie, Jaiswal will draw level with Virat Kohli as the joint-highest century scorer for India in a Test series against England.

3/6

Jaiswal Could Beat Kohli's Record

India's new Test opener has reached extraordinary levels in this series. With 655 runs from four Tests, including two double hundreds and two half-tons. It would remind many of Virat Kohli's brilliant run against the same opponent in 2016. Well, Jaiswal now has the opportunity to beat that too.

4/6

Sunil Gavaskar's Sensational Record Could Be Broken

The left-hander would also eye Sunil Gavaskar's overall Indian record of 774 runs from the famous four-Test series against the West Indies in 1970/71, which is the highest for the country in any Test rubber.

5/6

Anderson Could Reach 700 Test Wickets Mark

James Anderson, now in his 40s, continues to defy age and rewrite records with his exceptional bowling prowess. With eight wickets in the ongoing series across three Tests, the seasoned pacer has elevated his tally to 698 Test wickets in 186 matches, maintaining an impressive average of 26.52.

6/6

Ashwin Could Beat Kumble's Fifer Record

Should Ashwin manage to claim a five-wicket haul in either innings, it would mark his 36th such achievement, surpassing Anil Kumble's record of 35 fifers in 236 innings—a feat currently shared as the joint-most by an Indian. Achieving this milestone would place Ashwin on par with New Zealand legend Richard Hadlee at 36, and reaching 37 would see him level with the great Shane Warne.
