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 could surpass Dada and etch his name in record-books
