Ashwin racing past the allrounder's milestones

51 - The number of Tests R Ashwin took to complete 2000 runs and 250 wickets; no one has got there quicker. Richard Hadlee took 54 Tests. Ashwin is the fourth Indian and the 15th player overall to achieve this double.

6 - Number of batsmen to make 50-plus scores in India's innings, only the second instance for India in an away Test - the other being at The Oval in 2007 - and the seventh overall.

2 - Instances of six batsmen making 50-plus scores in an innings against Sri Lanka, and both times it was India.

6 - Totals of 600 or more by India in Tests since December 2016. All the other teams combined have made only one such total: Australia against Pakistan in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

3 - Instances of India making 600-plus totals in successive Tests. They had 642 and 726 for 9 against Sri Lanka in the home series in 2009-10, 631 and 759 for 7 against England in 2016-17, and 600 and 622 for 9 in this series. India's total in this match is also the third highest by a visiting side in Sri Lanka.

3 - Instances of a team's ten partnerships adding 20 or more runs each in a Test innings. Before India at the SSC, England did it against Australia at the SCG in 1928-29, and West Indies against England in Antigua in 1985-86.

516 - Runs conceded by Sri Lanka's spinners in the first innings, the fifth highest aggregate conceded by spinners in an innings. It's the second-highest in an innings in Sri Lanka, after the 700 runs taken off India's spinners when Sri Lanka scored 952 at the Premadasa in 1997.
