Smith scores most, Umesh concedes most

769 Runs scored by Steven Smith in this series, the most ever in a series of four or fewer matches. There have been two instances of batsmen scoring more runs when they have played only four matches in a five-match series - Sunil Gavaskar (774, versus West Indies, 1971) and Viv Richards (829, versus England, 1976).

8 Number of times that the teams have posted a 400-plus score during this series, the most ever in a Test series. There have been seven previous instances of teams making seven 400-plus scores in a series.

0 Number of previous instances where both teams have gone past 400 in the first innings of each Test in a series of three or more Tests. Both Australia and India have each posted 400-plus scores in the first innings of every Test this series, with Australia going past 500 on each occasion.

9 Number of Indian players who have completed the all-round double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets. R Ashwin is the latest. His batting average of 37.3 is the highest of the nine.

24 Number of Tests in which Ashwin completed the double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets, the third fastest in Tests. The only players to have reached this landmark in fewer Tests are Ian Botham (21 Tests) and Vinoo Mankad (23).

6 Number of times that Ashwin has dismissed David Warner in Tests. Warner has only scored 115 runs in 10 innings against Ashwin, at an average of 19.16. The only batsman whom Ashwin has accounted for more often in Tests is Ed Cowan, with seven dismissals.

4 Wickets taken by Ashwin during the second innings, making him only the second Indian spinner to take a four-wicket haul in Australia in 23 years. The last seven four-wicket hauls by an Indian spinner in Australia have all been by Anil Kumble, during the 2003-04 and 2007-08 tours.

250 Number of catches taken by Brad Haddin in Tests, making him the eighth wicketkeeper and the fourth Australian keeper to take 250 catches in Tests. Haddin reached this mark when he took the catch to dismiss Umesh Yadav off the bowling of Ryan Harris.

50 Runs scored by Ashwin during India's first innings. The last overseas No. 8 batsman to score a fifty in Australia was also Ashwin, in 2012, again in Sydney.

6 Number of consecutive 50-plus scores for Chris Rogers, the most by an Australian. Eight other Australian batsmen have made six 50-plus scores as well - Jack Ryder, Doug Walters, Greg Chappell, Allan Border, Mark Taylor, Michael Hussey, Phil Jaques and David Warner. The overall record for consecutive 50-plus scores in seven.

4.6 Umesh Yadav's economy rate this series, the fourth highest for any player bowling 100-plus overs in a series; he also features at third place on this list, which is headed by Fidel Edwards and Brett Lee.

15 Umesh Yadav's economy rate during Australia's second innings, the worst in Tests for a player who has bowled three or more overs in an innings. He returned figures of 0 for 45 from three overs.

6.3 Australia's run rate during their second innings, the second highest in a Test innings of 40-plus overs. Australia were 251 for 6 from 40 overs in their second innings. The highest run rate in such an innings is 6.8, by South Africa against Zimbabwe in Cape Town in 2005.

24 Number of instances this series of a bowler conceding 100-plus runs in innings, the most ever in a Test series. Nathan Lyon has five such innings, the most, while Ashwin has four.

169 Joe Burns' strike rate during his innings of 66 from 39 balls, the second highest in Tests for an Australian batsman making a 50-plus score. The record is held by Adam Gilchrist who scored 102 runs off 59 balls, at a strike rate of 173, against England in Perth in 2006.
