Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to break Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record as India prepare for second Test

As India prepares for the pink ball Test against Australia in Adelaide, Indian batting stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli will have some records to look forward to that could see them surpassing the greats Sachin Tendulkar and Don Bradman. The Adelaide Test begins on December 6, with India going into the game with a mental and physical edge over the Australian team, who were devastated by Bumrah's bowling and captaincy during their 295-run defeat at the Optus Stadium in Perth in the first Test.

However, the visitors will be looking to overcome the ghost of the 2020 Adelaide pink-ball Test in which they were bowled out for their lowest Test score of 36, making a nightmare start to that series. Pat Cummins (4/21) and Josh Hazlewood (5/8) stormed the Indian line-up in the second innings, setting up an easy target of 90 runs.

22 year old young Jaiswal is in the race to break records. After dominating home conditions for most of the year, the youngster conquered Australian conditions with a brilliant 161 in Perth during the first Test.

So far this year, Jaiswal has scored 1,280 runs at an average of 58.18 and a strike rate of 72.52 with three centuries and seven fifties. His best score is 214*. The youngster is 282 runs away from breaking Sachin's record of scoring most Test runs by an Indian in a calendar year.

In 2010, Sachin scored 1,562 runs in 14 Tests and 23 innings at an average of 78.10, which included seven centuries and five fifties. His best score was 214.

The most Test runs in a calendar year is held by Pakistan's legendary batsman Mohammad Yousuf, who scored 1,788 runs in 11 matches and 19 innings in 2006 at an average of 99.33. He scored nine centuries and three half-centuries with a best score of 202.

On the other hand, Virat is chasing Bradman's greatness. He is just one century away from scoring the most centuries by a player against his opponents in home conditions. Virat has 10 international centuries to his name against Australia on their soil, while Bradman has scored 11 centuries in international cricket in England during his career.

With another brilliant performance from these two, India can take a 2-0 lead in the series. There is no doubt that another century from Virat will make many of his fans happy, as he has been struggling with poor form for most of the year. Jaiswal, on the other hand, will be aiming to seal his reputation as the next big thing in world cricket with another stellar performance against the Australian team.
