# Ajinkya Rahane (52) has posted his third fifty vs Australia - his 11th in Tests. Apart from three fifties, he has also registered a hundred vs Australia in Tests - 147 at Melbourne in December 2014.

# Pujara and Rahane were involved in a stand of 118 - India's highest fifth-wicket partnership vs Australia at Bangalore, obliterating the 93 between Gundappa Viswanath and Yashpal Sharma in September 1979.

# The above partnership is India's second highest fifth wicket stand in Tests at Bangalore behind the 300-run stand between Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh vs Pakistan in December 2007.

# The above partnership is the first century stand for any wicket in the present series.

# Josh Hazlewood (6/67) has recorded his best bowling figures in Tests, surpassing the 6 for 70 vs New Zealand at Adelaide in 2015-16.

# Hazlewood's second five-wicket haul vs India is his fifth in Tests. He had first captured a five-wicket haul in Tests vs India at Brisbane in 2014-15.

# Hazlewood's above performance is the joint fifth-best by an Australian fast bowler in Tests on Indian soil - the best being Ray Lindwall's 7 for 43 at Chennai in 1956-57.

# Nathan Lyon's career-best bowling figures of 8 for 50 are the best by an Australian bowler in a losing cause in Tests. In all, his figures are the fifth best in a losing cause in Tests - the best being Kapil Dev's 9 for 83 vs West Indies at Ahmedabad in 1983-84.
