India vs Australia 2020-21: Forthcoming records and milestones

India’s Tour of Australia will cover three ODIs, three T20Is, and a 4-match Test series. The first white-ball match kicks off at the SCG on November 27. A lot of individual records and milestones are presumed to be accomplished in the upcoming two months. 

Australia will be playing with their power-packed squads in all three formats. On the other hand, India will be without Rohit Sharma during the ODI series and Virat Kohli for the last three Test matches.

Let us have a look at some of the milestones players are likely to achieve during India’s Tour of Australia.

Chahal's 100 ODI wicket

Yuzvendra Chahal has grabbed 91 wickets to date in 52 ODI matches. Chahal will become the fastest Indian to take 100 ODI wickets if he picks up nine wickets in the next three games.

Ishant Sharma reaching 300 Test wickets

Ishant Sharma has picked 297 wickets in his 97-match Test career so far. The pacer needs three more wickets to become the 6th Indian player to take 300 wickets in Test. 

Cummins and Hazlewood to reach 300 wickets in International Cricket

The Australian pacers Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are very close to pocket 300 wickets in International career. They have claimed 286 and 288 wickets respectively so far. The 300-wicket milestone has only been claimed by nine players in International cricket for Australia thus far. Josh Hazlewood is just five scalps away from completing 200 wickets in Test.

Nathon Lyon to pick 400 wickets

Nathan Lyon requires ten more scalps to become the 3rd player to pick 400 wickets in Test cricket for Australia. With those ten wickets, Lyon will become only the 3rd right-arm off-spinner to reach the 400 wickets feat.

Cheteshwar Pujara has aggregated 5840 runs during his 77-match Test career to date. The batsman needs 160 more runs to become the 11th Indian player with 6000 runs in the longer format.

David Warner reaching to 15000 international runs

David Warner has scored 14812 runs in his International career thus far. Warner is just 188 runs away from becoming the eighth Aussie to aggregate 15000 International runs. He has scored 14584 while opening the batting for Australia. The left-handed batsman needs 416 runs to become the 8th player to reach 15000 International runs as an opener.

Virat Kohli needs 99 runs to complete 22000 international runs
