267 runs away: Rohit Sharma is 267 runs away from getting to 4000 runs in Test cricket. He will be the 19th player from the country to do so. As this is a five-match series, that milestone is not that far.

14 sixes: If Rohit scores 14 sixes in total in the series then he will become the leading six-hitter among Indians in Test cricket. Currently, he has 77 maximums, 13 less than the top-ranked Virender Sehwag

2 more centuries: Rohit is a prolific opener in all formats of the game. Notably, if he manages to score two more centuries (from 41) in the series as an opener, Rohit will become the third-highest century-hitter as an opener in International cricket.

5 more wins: Rohit might not be thinking of a series white-wash so early but if he helps India win 5-0 against England, Rohit will have 300 wins under his belt as an Indian player. He will be the only third Indian. If he wins one more, he will leave Dhoni behind
