What should I do if a recruiter contacted me for starting an application but has not replied in two days?
The other day I received an email from a recruiter from a big company, about a particular role and asked me to give the name, graduation date, VISA status and other details to start the application.
The email came in at evening time, approximately 5pm. I could not see it at that time, I woke up and replied to the email at 4am.
After that there has been no contact from the recruiter and I am worried. What should I do and will the recruiter contact me or not?

What are you worried about? Do you want a job at the company that the recruiter says they work for?

@ZoeHowlett yes, I first time got such email from a recruiter of a company of my choice. I don't know whether the recruiter would contact me again or not.

It is completely reasonable to follow up your initial email with another email checking on the status.
