7 - Hundreds for Rishabh Pant in Test cricket. He now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, going past MS Dhoni's tally of six.
3 - Test hundreds for Pant in England. No other visiting wicketkeeper has more than one hundred in the country. England's Les Ames in the West Indies and Zimbabwe's Andy Flower in India are the only visiting wicketkeepers to score three Test hundreds in a country apart from Pant.
147 - Shubman Gill's score at Headingley is the second-highest by an India batter on captaincy debut behind Vijay Hazare's 164* against England in 1951.
5 - Previous instances of three (or more) India batters scoring hundreds in a Test innings away from home. The last of those was back in 2007 against Bangladesh in Mirpur. This is the first time India had three (or more) centurions in a Test innings since 2018.
2 - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Gill and Pant became only the second India trio to score hundreds in a Test innings in England. Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly were the first, and that was also at Headingley, in 2002.
6 - Sixes hit by Pant, the most by a visiting batter in a Test innings in England. His six sixes are also the joint-second-highest by an India batter in a Test innings away from home, behind Hardik Pandya's seven against Sri Lanka in 2017.
134 - Pant's score in this Test match is the second-highest by a wicketkeeper at Headingley, behind Jonny Bairstow's 140 against Sri Lanka in 2016.
3 - Instances of Pant bringing up his hundred with a six in Tests, all against England - against Adil Rashid at The Oval in 2018, Joe Root in Ahmedabad in 2021 and Shoaib Bashir in Leeds. Among Indians, only Sachin Tendulkar (six) and Rohit Sharma (three) have brought up centuries with sixes in Test cricket as many or more times than Pant.
Since 2002, no batter has hit a six to complete his hundred more often than Pant. Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, Kumar Sangakkara, Rohit and Kusal Mendis have also done it three times during this period.
