- India have lost only two of their last nine men's Tests against Australia (W5, D2) and they now search for back-to-back wins against them for just the second time since 2013 after an eight-wicket win in the second match of this series.
- Australia are undefeated in their last nine men's Tests against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground (W4, D5); in fact, their only defeat in such a fixture came in January 1978.
- Australia are undefeated in their last nine men's Tests at the Sydney Cricket Ground (W6, D3); their last defeat at the venue came against England by an innings and 83 runs in January 2011.
- Four of India's last six men's Tests away from home have been won by the team to have lost the toss on the day, with all three of India's wins in that span having come after they had lost the toss.
- Australia's loss in the second Test of this series snapped a eight-game winning run in men's Tests at home; they will now look to avoid consecutive home defeats for the first time since November 2016.
- Australia dropped eight catches throughout the second Test of this series, their most in a single men's Test since dropping nine against India in the New Year's Test of 2012 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
- David Warner (Australia) has hit four centuries and two half centuries in his last eight Test innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground; in fact, Ricky Ponting (8) is the only player to have logged more centuries at the Sydney Cricket Ground than Warner (7) in all men's international cricket.
- No player has taken more wickets (10) or has a better bowling economy (2.1) than India's Ravichandran Ashwin throughout this series.
- Nathan Lyon is just six wickets shy of becoming just the third Australian bowler to take 400 wickets in men's Tests (Warne, McGrath); his 89 wickets against India are his most against any team and 36 more than any other Australian man in the format.
- Shubman Gill (India) has scored 60 of his 80 runs in this series via boundaries, the highest percentage (75%) of any player.
