2 Bigger wins, in terms of runs, for India against New Zealand than the 197-run victory in Kanpur. The others were achieved in Auckland in 1967-68 - by 272 runs - and Chennai in 1976-77 - by 216 runs. This was India's second-biggest win at Green Park.
12 Consecutive Tests without a defeat at home for India. Since losing to England at Eden Gardens in December 2012, India have won 10 and drawn two. Only twice have India had a longer unbeaten streak at home. They were undefeated in 20 consecutiveTests between 1977 and 1980 and in 16 between 1960 and 1964.

5 Ten-wicket match hauls for Ashwin in Tests - joint second-most by an Indian. While the record-holder Anil Kumble played 132 Tests and finished with eight 10-fors, Ashwin has more than half as many in a mere 37 matches . Harbhajan Singh, who has played 103 Tests, has picked up five 10-wicket hauls.
3 Bowlers who have taken five ten-wicket hauls in fewer matches than Ashwin's 37. George Lohmann got to the mark in 16 Tests, Sydney Barnes in 24, and Clarrie Grimmett in 35. For India, Harbhajan took 68 Tests to get to five ten-fors and Kumble 81.
2 Bowlers who have more five-wicket hauls than Ashwin's 19 after 37 Tests. Barnes claimed 24 in a 27-Test career, Grimmett had 21 after 37 Tests, and Waqar Younis 19.
1 Mitchell Santner is the first New Zealander to score more than 100 runs and pick up at least five wickets in a Test match since 2011. Daniel Vettori was the last to accomplish this double. In fact, he dominates the list with five entries.
2 Tests that have had more fifties than this one without there being a hundred. India and New Zealand contributed 10 fifties in Kanpur, with the top score being Luke Ronchi's 80. There were 13 from South Africa and England in Durban in 1927-28 and 11 from India and Australia in Mumbai in 1964-65. The 1160 runs made at Green Park was the fourth-highest aggregate in a Test without a century.
10 Lbws for India's bowlers in this match, a record for India, beating the nine from the Eden Gardens Test between India and Australia in 2001.
3 Six-wicket hauls by Ashwin against New Zealand. Only Derek Underwood with five has taken more. Pakistan's Waqar and Mushtaq Ahmed, and England's Tony Lock and Ryan Sidebottom also have three six-fors each against New Zealand.
