Captain Smith racks up the numbers in India

178* Steven Smith's score - the third highest by an Australian batsman in India. The top two are Dean Jones's 210 and Matthew Hayden's 201, both in Chennai.

5 Overseas captains with 150-plus scores in India, including Smith. Clive Lloyd made three such scores and Alastair Cook two. Alvin Kallicharran and Inzamam-ul-Haq are the others. The previous highest score by an Australia captain in India was Michael Clarke's 130 in Chennai in 2012-13.

361 Balls faced by Smith - the most he has faced in a Test innings. He had played 361 balls in his 199 in Kingston in 2015 as well. The unbeaten 178 is the fourth highest score of his career.

1-4 Australia's win-loss record after posting 400-plus in the first innings of a Test in India, in eight previous matches. Their only win was in Bangalore in 2004. They have lost four, drawn twice and tied once.

26.71 Ravindra Jadeja's bowling average in the first innings since the start of the England series - the best among India's spinners. R Ashwin averages 39.08 and takes about 23 balls more per wicket.

2 Australian players to score centuries in all three international formats. Glenn Maxwell became the second - after Shane Watson - to achieve this with his 104 in Ranchi.

4 Fifty-plus opening stands for India in this home season, compared to nine such partnerships for the opposition. Australia have had three such partnerships in five innings so far. The 91-run stand between KL Rahul and M Vijay is their second 50-plus partnership in 15 innings.
