# Kohli has become the first player to hit double centuries in four successive Test series. He had recorded 200 vs West Indies at North Sound, 211 vs New Zealand at Indore & 235 vs England at Mumbai in the previous three Test rubbers last year.
# Don Bradman and Rahul Dravid had recorded the distinction in three consecutive series.
# Just three Indian players have posted more double centuries than Kohli in Tests - 6 each by Virender Sehwag & Sachin Tendulkar and five by Rahul Dravid.
# Kohli's tally of four innings of 200-plus as captain has been exceeded only by Brian Lara (5). Don Bradman, Michael Clarke and Graeme Smith have also four innings of 200-plus to their credit in Tests.
# Kohli has managed 1168 runs in fifteen innings (ave.89.84), including four centuries and two fifties, in the 2016-17 home season - the highest tally by any batsman in a home season, eclipsing the 1105 (ave.69.06), including four hundreds and three half-centuries, in 17 innings by Virender Sehwag in 2004-05.
# Wriddhiman Saha (106 not out) has posted his highest Test score - his second century - the first being 104 vs West Indies at Gros Islet in August 2016.
# Saha is the first Indian wicketkeeper to register a hundred in India as well as outside the subcontinent in Tests.
# Ravindra Jadeja (60 not out) has posted back to back fifties for the first time in Tests. In his previous innings, he had scored 51 vs England at Chennai in December 2016.
# Jadeja's first fifty vs Bangladesh is his fifth in Tests.
# Jadeja and Saha were associated in a stand of 118 (unbroken) - India's second highest seventh-wicket partnership vs Bangladesh in Tests, next only to the 121 between Sourav Ganguly and Sunil Joshi at Dhaka in November 2000.
# For the first time, five batsmen between number two and six have posted 75 or more in the same Test innings.
