Jaiswal chases Sachin's record, Kohli close to surpassing Bradman ahead of second Test

As India gear up for the pink ball Test against Australia at Adelaide, Indian batting stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli will have some records worth looking up to that can witness them climb up over legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Don Bradman.

The Adelaide Test will kick-start on 6 December, with India heading into the game with a mental and physical edge over the Aussies who were left devastated by Bumrah's bowling and captaincy during a 295-run loss at Perth's Optus Stadium in the first Test.
