5 records that can be broken in the India-New Zealand Test series

Kohli eyeing a record-breaking series?

There are plenty of records that could be broken in the three-match Test series between Indian and New Zealand. While Ajinkya Rahane crossing 2,000 Test runs and Tim Southee going past the 200 Test wickets mark are milestones to look out for, they aren't records per se.

In fact, there are records, including some that have been there since the start of Test cricket that might be broken in the upcoming Test series. Here are 5 records that can be broken in the India-New Zealand Test series:

India registering their biggest Test series win over New Zealand

Virat Kohli may have won his first two away Test series as captain but India have always traditionally been poor travellers. While their record at home is impressive, they haven't always been as good on their travels, which is why it is surprising that their biggest Test series win over New Zealand came away from home.

Although India have beaten New Zealand in eight of their 10 home Test series, their best winning margin at home is just 2-0. In New Zealand, however, they have won a Test series by a 3-1 margin which remains their biggest win over the Kiwis in Tests.

That victory came in 1968, under the stewardship of Nawab of Pataudi. The four-match series began with Indian chasing 200 for victory comfortably in the first Test at Dunedin. Although they lost the second after being forced to follow-on, they won the third by eight wickets and completed the series win by thumping the hosts by 272 runs in the final Test.

Should Kohli's side claim a 3-0 series whitewash at home, not only would it be their best win over New Zealand at home but also their biggest Test series win over the Black Caps.
