India vs Australia 2nd Test: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Others can Achieve THESE 5 Milestones in Delhi Test

After beating Australia within three days in Nagpur, India will look to win the 2nd Test in Delhi to take a 2-0 lead and ensure Aussies do no get back the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. There are multiple individual milestones that some Indian cricketers would be eyeing as well. Here we take a look at five such milestones.  

Ravindra Jadeja to complete 250 Test wickets

Ravindra Jadeja to complete 250 Test wickets

Ravindra Jadeja made a strong comeback in Nagpur Test, which was his first international match in 6 months. He had been healing his injured knee in this period. The rehab period must have been frustrating for him. But Jadeja ensured he bounced back strongly as he picked up a five-wicket haul in first Test vs Australia while also scoring a fifty with the bat. His all-round display helped India beat Australia in 1st Test and take 1-0 lead in four-match series. In the 2nd Test in Delhi, Jadeja is likely to complete picking 250 Test wickets. He is just one wicket away from reaching the landmark. (Image source: Twitter)

Team India captain Rohit played an outstanding knock vs Australia in the first innings of the Nagpur Test. His 120-run knock helped India set up a strong total on the board which eventually resulted in victory for the home side. Rohit must continue the good run and score another ton, to enter the double digits as far as his number of Test tons are concerned. Rohit has 9 Test tons and with one more, he will get to his 10th.

Virat Kohli awaits his 1st Test ton in more than 3 years

Virat Kohli awaits his 1st Test ton in more than 3 years

Kohli trained hard in the nets, a day before the Delhi Test, asking spinners to bowl at him as he has been found having weakness vs them in the past few matches. Delhi is his homeground and here he will look to end the wait for his first Test ton since November 2019. Yes, you read that right. Kohli has not scored a Test ton after his 136-run knock vs Bangladesh in Kolkata. He had a poor outing in the first Test vs Aussies in Nagpur, getting out to debutant Todd Murphy down the leg stump line. He would want to correct that, focus hard and get to his first Test ton in more than 3 years. (Image source: Twitter)

R Ashwin has a golden chance of surpassing his biggest competition in world cricket Nathan Lyon. Ashwin sits on 457 Test wickets from 89 games. He needs five more to surpass Lyon. But Lyon will also be playing the Delhi Test match and is expected to add to his tally of 461 Test wickets. It is surely going to be some competition as Ashwin vs Lyon will be a high-octane mini battle. (Image source: Twitter)
