The fifth and final test between India and England will begin on Thursday at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. India have already won the series 3-1, and they will look to win the final game to strengthen their position at the top of the WTC table. However, the conditions in Dharamsala will be different from the previous four venues.
Because it will help pacers more, which will bring England more into the game. Jasprit Bumrah is back for India, and they will also be prepared for the challenge. It is expected to be a cracking game. However, when the stage is all set, there are some big records on the line as well. Here we will talk about three all-time records that can be achieved during the 5th Test.
3. Most runs in a Test Series by an Indian
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been in red-hot form. He is the highest run scorer in the ongoing series. The left-hander has scored 655 runs in 4 matches at an average of 93.57 with two double centuries and two half-centuries. He needs another 120 runs to break Sunil Gavaskar’s record of 774 runs, which he made in 1970 against West Indies in four matches. With the form Jaiswal is in at the moment, he can do that with one good innings and score the most runs in a test series by an Indian.
2. First Pacer to take 700 Wickets
England have announced their playing XI for the fifth test in Dharamsala, and veteran pacer James Anderson is in the team. This could be a historic test for the English pacer. Anderson stands with 698 wickets at the moment in 186 tests in his career. He needs just two more wickets to reach the magical figure of 700 wickets. Anderson will become the third bowler overall, but he will also become the first pacer to achieve that feat.
1. First Batter to hit 600 international sixes
The Indian captain Rohit Sharma, has looked good in the series. He has scored 297 runs in four games. He smashed one century already. Currently, Rohit has hit the most sixes in international cricket combined in all three formats. His tally currently stands at 594 sixes. If Rohit can hit six more sixes in the final game, he will become the first ever batter to hit 600 sixes in international cricket. No other batter has achieved this feat so far.
