3- Virat Kohli has a chance to complete 2000 runs against England
Indian captain Virat Kohli has scored 1570 runs in 19 Tests against England so far and he needs just 430 runs to complete his 2000 run mark. Not only this, Virat will become the third Indian to score 2000 runs in Test matches against England. At present, only Sachin Tendulkar (2535) and Sunil Gavaskar (2483) are ahead of him.
2- Joe Root can become the third player to score the most runs for England
England captain Joe Root had performed brilliantly in the Test series against Sri Lanka with a century and a double century in the Island nation. In great run of form, he would be expected to perform against India as well. Root has currently scored 8249 runs in his Test career and is the fourth highest run-scorer for England. If he scores 251 runs in the series, he will complete 8500 runs in Test cricket, leaving behind Alec Stewart (8463) to become the third highest scorer for England in longest format of the game. Former opener Alastair Cook holds the top spot with 12472 runs.
1- Virat Kohli may become the most successful skipper at home
Team India, led by Virat Kohli, has so far won 20 Test matches in India, while the team had won 21 matches under Dhoni’s captaincy. Another two win under the leadership of Virat Kohli will make him the most successful Indian captain on home condition.
