England Vs India 2018: 4 records that can be broken in fifth Test Match 

The final Test between India and England is set to commence from 7th of September. The series is lost and India will only have the pride to play for in the fifth Test. India has competed reasonably well in the series with bowling firing on all cylinders.

So it will not come as a surprise if India pushes England to its limits for a victory making this Test a riveting one as well. Now, being the no. 1 Test team in the world, losing the series 4-1 will be more deplorable than losing 3-2.

Having said that through the course of the series there were many records that were broken and both teams will get another crack at it in the fifth Test. So, on that note here are four records that could be broken in the upcoming 5th Test match.

#1 Most Runs By An Indian In India In England Test Series- Rahul Dravid

This record at the moment sits with The Wall of Indian Cricket, Rahul Dravid. He scored an astounding 602 runs in 6 innings across four Test matches in 2002. He was able to achieve this while maintaining a Bradmanesque average of 100.33.

He scored 3 centuries during the course of this series with the highest of 217 at Oval. Now then, the closest to this record is none other than the batting maestro Virat Kohli. He has scored a whopping 544 runs in the series at an average of 68 to go with 2 centuries.

He will get two fair chances at the record but given his current run of form, he will just need 1 innings to clear the deficit of 58 runs and given the conversion rate he might as well convert this into a big daddy hundred to win this match for his country.

#2 Most wickets by an Indian in England-India Test series- Bhuvneshwar Kumar

England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day Four

It was the year 2014 when India last toured England for a Test series. It was the second Test match where Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 6/82 in the first innings and Ishant Sharma's 7/74 in the second innings orchestrated the collapse of the English side.

This was the first of the two wins that India could muster in this decade in England. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's absence in this series did sting as the premier bowler's mastery in swinging conditions was sorely missed because he took 19 wickets in the last series.

This tally was highest by any Indian bowler in England and the second on the list was the lanky pacer Ishant at 14 wickets in the same series. Now Ishant who is also 4 years wiser is at 15 wickets in the series and will look to add to his tally in the fifth Test to break Bhuvi's record.

#3 Two Test matches won in a Test series in England- 1986

India At Lord's 1986

This special record belongs to the fabled Indian team that went to England in 1986. India went on that tour for a three-match series and won it 2-0. The series was won under Kapil Dev, who was the Indian skipper at the time.

India in this series, unfortunately, is already 3-1 down but no hope is lost for the fifth Test. England has not had easy victories in the series barring the one at Lord's. India will have to bowl like they have in the series but bat a lot better to make the scoreline 3-2.

This series has Virat Kohli as the Indian skipper who has led from the front. He has also promised to not throw in the towel just yet and the team will go in with the same intensity as they did in all matches of the series, to try and equal the record.

#4 Most catches by an Indian in a Test series- Rahul Dravid

KL Rahul Exceptional form At The Slips

KL Rahul for all the constructive criticism coming in his way and yesteryear greats calling for his axing from the team has done pretty well in catching department. He already set a unique record in India's only victorious campaign in the series by taking seven catches in the match.

Rahul which in the Indian context has become synonymous with catches also went past another of Dravid's record of most catches in England in a series, record haul of 10 catches. He currently sits atop with 11 catches and looks set to overhaul another of Dravid's record.

Dravid also holds the record for most catches in a Test series by an Indian player, a record haul of 13 catches. With one more Test to go in the series, KL Rahul is expected to surpass Dravid as he needs only two more catches to equalise his number and three to break his record.
