- India have won three of their last four men’s Test series against Australia (L1), including the last two in succession – they have never won more consecutive series against the Australians in this format.
- India secured their first men's Test series triumph against Australia in Australia when they last visited (2-1, 2018/19) ending a drought of 11 series (D3, L8) without success.
- Australia are undefeated in their last four men's Test series (W3, D1), including wins in each of their last two – the last time they won more successive series was a span of three from November 2015 to February 2016.
- Australia have won 10 of their last 12 men's Test series at home (L2); however, India (2-1, 2018/19) were responsible for one of their two defeats in that span (also South Africa, 2-1 in 2016).
- This will be the first time Australia and India have met in a day-night men's Test match; they are the only two sides with a 100% winning record in such fixtures (Australia – 7/7 and India – 1/1).
- India have won two men's Tests at the Adelaide Oval; the Melbourne Cricket Ground (W3) is the only other Australian venue where they have won more than once in the format.
- Australia's Nathan Lyon (50) needs six more wickets to equal Shane Warne (56) for the most wickets in men's Tests at the Adelaide Oval; his best match figures at the ground in the format came against India (12/286, December 2014).
- Marnus Labuschagne (Australia) has a Test batting average of 85.4 on Australian soil; only two players (min. 10 innings) surpass him in the men's format (Sir Donald Bradman – 98.2 and Adam Voges – 86.3)
- Rishabh Pant (India) found the boundary rope every 13.1 balls he faced in the last men's Test series between Australia and India, the most frequent of any batsman (min. 100 runs scored).
- Ravindra Jadeja (India) boasted the best dot ball percentage (82%) of any bowler in the last men's Test series between Australia and India; indeed, Ravichandran Ashwin (1.7) was the only player (min. 50 overs bowled) to better Jadeja's economy rate (2.3) in the series.
