15.60 Ravindra Jadeja's bowling average in Tests in Asia - the best by any bowler with 50 or more wickets. There is some distance to the second best on this list: Richie Benaud with 19.32.
12.53 Jadeja's bowling average in first-class matches since start of September last year - best among all 389 bowlers who have taken 20 or more wickets in this period. He has taken 80 wickets in just 12 matches, including 11 five-wicket hauls. No other bowler has taken these many five-fors over this one year.
7 Runs for which New Zealand lost their last five wickets - their second-lowest in an away Test. They collapsed from 255 for 5 to 262 all out. They had lost their last five wickets for five runs in Colombo (SSC) in 1992-93.
2 Instances when India bowlers dismissed six batsmen lbw in a Test innings, including this Test. The first was in Mohali in 1994-95 against West Indies.
86.20 Kane Williamson's average in Tests as captain. He has made five scores of 50 or more in seven innings when leading his team so far. His average is easily one of the highest as captain.
1 Runs made by Ross Taylor in his last three Test innings. He had made 1 & 0 in the Centurion Test before bagging another duck in the first innings of this Test. But in the series against Zimbabwe, just before the South Africa tour, he had accumulated 365 runs in three innings without getting dismissed.
3 Instances of three century partnerships for the second wicket in a Test, including this Test. The last such Test was in 1972-73 at the MCG between Australia and Pakistan. The only other was the Ashes Test of 1953 at Lord's.
2008 Last time India's top-three batsmen made scores of 30 or more in both innings of a Test - against Australia in Mohali. This was the fifth such instance and incidentally the second at Green Park. They had done the same against West Indies here in 1958-59.
11.60 Average partnership between KL Rahul and M Vijay in Tests, before this match. They had accumulated only 58 runs in five stands, with a best of 48. In this Test, they have had partnerships of 42 and 52.
