    What's the story

    All eyes will be on the Indian cricket team when they take the field against Australia on Thursday in Sydney.

    India and Australia will be vying for the fourth and final Test match of the ongoing series.

    The visitors lead the series 2-1 and go in as favorites.

    Notably, Indian captain Virat Kohli could break a host of records.

    Here's a look.

    Overseas Tests

    Kohli equalled the legend after India won the third Test at the MCG.

    If India manage to beat Australia at the SCG, then the 30-year-old Kohli would go past Dada.
