The much-awaited World Test Championship Final is set to begin in Southampton from June 18. Looking at the past ICC records of both the teams, New Zealand are hot favourites for the iconic Test Mace but Team India under the leadership of Virat Kohli are geared up to make history. There is no doubt that this Test would make some records. So, here we are with all the records that can be broken in this encounter:

Ishant Sharma likely to break Zaheer Khan’s record

Indian speedster Ishant Sharma needs 9 more wickets to break Zaheer Khan’s record of 311 wickets. The Delhiite has now joined the club of playing more than 100 Tests and it would be unfair if he didn’t manage to break some records in near future.

Ross Taylor to join Sachin Tendulkar

Kiwi legend is all set to complete 1000 Test runs against India. He needs 188 runs to achieve this feat. Also, a century from his bat in the WTC final would equal his record of 4 centuries with Sachin Tendulkar in the IND-NZ Test series.

BJ Watling to surpass MS Dhoni

BJ Watling needs just one wicket to complete most dismissals in IND-NZ Tests. He will surpass MS Dhoni’s tally of 32 dismissals. Isn’t it interesting? This will be Watling’s final international game and he would be looking to get runs as well.

Ravindra Jadeja to complete 2000 runs in Test cricket

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is just 46 runs away from reaching 2000 Test runs. His phenomenal career also includes 220 Test wickets. The southpaw is most likely to play as a first-choice spinner against New Zealand in the WTC final.

So folks, which of these records can be broken in this match?
