India's ongoing tour of England is set to feature a thrilling contest, with both teams preparing to face each other at Lord's. After England's commanding win in the opening contest, India sealed the subsequent affair, restoring parity in the series.

Considering both teams will go hard at each other in the pursuit of a crucial series lead, a fascinating encounter is expected at the Home of Cricket. Ahead of the highly anticipated clash, here are some elite milestones that players from both sides could potentially break. 

Gill on the verge of surpassing Rahul Dravid for most runs in a series in England

Legendary Indian batter Rahul Dravid holds the record for the most runs by an Indian batter in a single Test series in England. Dravid showcased remarkable consistency and struck 602 runs on India's England tour back in 2011. 

However, India's current Test skipper has a golden opportunity to go past the talisman and etch his name in history. Gill has already raced to 585 runs and needs only 18 runs to surpass Dravid's tally at Lord's. 

Gill could break Kohli's record for most Test hundreds vs England

Indian captain Shubman Gill also has a chance to edge past Virat Kohli on the list of Indian batters with the most Test centuries against England. Both Gill and Kohli have five centuries each against the Englishmen in Tests. 

Thus, if Gill extends his purple patch and slams another ton at Lord's, he will overtake Kohli and join Mohammad Azharuddin for the second-highest number of Test hundreds for India against England. 

Joe Root could become 1st player to score 4000 runs in IND vs ENG matches

Talismanic batter Joe Root has the most runs in international matches between India and England across formats. The right-hander has already scored 3967 runs and needs only 33 more runs at Lord's to become the first-ever cricketer to breach the 4000-run mark in all India versus England matches. 

Jaiswal could record joint-most Test centuries as Indian opener vs England

Swashbuckling Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of the most prolific performers against England. The southpaw has smashed three centuries, and if he manages a ton at Lord's, Jaiswal will join Sunil Gavaskar, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma for the joint-most Test hundreds as an Indian opener against England.
