India broke several records in the first game and hopes to break more in the second
Empty stands in the stadium and India winning more than an innings and 140
runs highlight the disappointing state of West Indies cricket. For India, though, it is all about maintaining its dominance by winning early and breaking records. In the first game, India enjoyed a significant margin victory and broke several records.
Therefore, in the second game, we expect India to do even better because a fightback from the West Indies is highly unexpected. Given the list of milestones and records date back decades, we took the liberty of asking ChatGPT and Perplexity AI about the records India is hopeful to break against the Indies.
Here are what can still be broken, as highlighted by the AI chatbots.
Largest Margin of Victory Against West Indies

Both the AI chatbots started off with India’s chance of creating a new record in terms of the largest margin victory. At present, India’s record against the West Indies stands at an innings and 272 runs in Rajkot (2018). Given India’s talent and depth in the squad, coupled with the boosted morale, India can break this record and register a bigger victory.
Series Clean Sweep
Since 2002, India has not lost a single Test series against the West Indies (2002/03, 2006, 2011, 2011/12, 2013/14, 2016, 2018/19, 2019, 2023). If India wins the ongoing series, it will increase its consecutive streak to 10.
Most Consecutive Home Wins Against West Indies
India also has the opportunity to extend its winning streak at home against the West Indies. Since 1994, India and the West Indies have played 11 matches against each other on Indian soil, out of which India has won nine games, while two matches have ended in a draw. Another win will extend this streak further.

ChatGPT also stated, “In 2013/14, the aggregate of the two innings wins was 177 runs (51 + 126). India is already at 140 for this series; an innings win by 38 or more in Delhi would surpass that combined buffer. This score is a series-comparison stat rather than an official ICC record, but it’s a neat bar to clear.”
Possible Individual Records
Perplexity AI has identified multiple individual records that could be achieved.
Virender Sehwag holds the highest record with 91 sixes in Test matches for India. Ravindra Jadeja stands at 79, and he is clearly in contention to topple Sehwag’s record.

The highest Test partnership at the venue is 283 runs, set by Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay in 2017. Given India has multiple run machines, toppling this record is also a possibility.
Last but not least, the highest individual run against the West Indies was made by Sunil Gavaskar (237 runs). This target is steep, but in today’s fast-paced cricket, breaking this could also be a possibility.
