The Indian team is on a roll and their winning run at home is increasing. They last lost a Test at home in 2021 and before that in 2017. Even the best players consider beating India in India as the toughest challenge in Test cricket. India are continuing their domination again after their victory over Australia in the first Test.
Indian team players are known to break records time and time again and the second Test would be another opportunity for them to break some records. A lot of records were broken in the first Test and there are many that might be broken in the upcoming Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Five Indian players can accomplish some records in the second Test : –
1) Rohit Sharma

The Indian skipper was the only batter to score a century on a tricky Nagpur pitch in the first Test. His 120-run knock was one of the key reasons for India’s massive victory for India over the mighty Australian team.
The Mumbai Indian skipper can achieve another milestone in his already glorious career. If the opener can score 108 runs in the second Test, he will accomplish 17,000 runs in International cricket. He is certainly in form and fans would be keen to see the skipper achieve this milestone as soon as possible.
2) Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara loves to bat against Australia whether it is at home or away. Unless something unheard of happens to Pujara, he will play his 100th Test for India. Playing 100 Test matches for your country is a big achievement but that is not the only record that Pujara can achieve in Delhi against Australia.
If Pujara manages to score 107 runs in the second Test against Australia, he will become the sixth player to cross 2000 runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He would just be the fourth Indian to achieve this record in Test Cricket.
3) Virat Kohli

Kohli just needs to score 52 runs in the second Test to get past the glorious mark of 25000 runs in International cricket. He will just be the sixth player in history to have scored more than 25,000 runs in International cricket. If he achieves this feat, Kohli will just be the second Indian to do so.

Mohammed Siraj is at the top of his game at the moment and would be hoping to continue his stellar form in the second Test against Australia. Siraj bowled well in the first Test as well and would be hoping that he plays a major role this time around.
If Siraj manages to scalp four wickets in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, then he will complete 100 wickets in International cricket. This is a record that every bowler would have hoped to accomplish when they start playing cricket and Siraj is just a whisker away from achieving that feat.
