Stats - India's woeful year with the bat continues in Perth

150 India's total in Perth is their joint-lowest in the first innings of a Test match on Australian soil. They were bowled out for 150 at Sydney in 2000 after electing to bat first. Only once India recorded a lower first-innings total in Australia - 58 all-out at Brisbane in 1947 while batting second.

3 Previous instances of visiting teams getting bowled out below 200 runs after electing to bat first in the Test series opener in Australia. England made only 134 in 1958 and 147 in 2021, while Sri Lanka got all out for 144 in a day-night Test in 2019, all three at the Gabba.

5 All-out totals under 160 for India in Tests in 2024, including the 150 all out on Friday. Only twice did India get bowled out under 160 more often in Tests in a calendar year - six times in 1952 and 1959 and had five such totals in 2018.

661 Runs by Rishabh Pant in Tests against Australia are the most by a visiting wicketkeeper on Australian soil, surpassing Alan Knott's tally of 643. Pant has batted in 13 innings in Australia and has scored no less than 23 runs in all of them.

18 Batters to have bagged a duck for India in Tests in 2024, with Devdutt Padikkal being the latest. These are the most number of Indian batters to be dismissed for a duck in Tests in a calendar year, surpassing 17 each in 1983 and 2008.

7 Batters to top score in an innings while batting at No. 8 or lower for India on their Test debut, including Nitish Kumar Reddy. Only two of the previous six have been in the last 70 years - Stuart Binny against England in 2014 and Balwinder Sandhu against Pakistan in 1983.

26 Batters to have completed 3000-plus runs in Test cricket for India, including KL Rahul, who got there in Perth on Friday. His current batting average of 33.78 is the third-lowest among the 26, behind R Ashwin (25.92) and Kapil Dev (31.05).

505 Wickets between Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon in the 31 Test matches they played together. They are now the first quartet to bag 500-plus wickets in Test cricket. Cummins has 132 scalps, the most among the four, while Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon bagged 126, 125 and 122 respectively. (Only the players with 100-plus career wickets considered to be part of a quartet)

1 Cummins dismissed Pant for the first time in Test cricket. Pant faced off Cummins in 12 innings thus far, scoring 104 runs off 168 balls, with ten fours and a six.
