- This men's Test series is currently tied at 1-1 apiece; a win for India in this final instalment would secure back-to-back men's Test series triumphs in Australia for the first time.
- Australia are undefeated in their last 31 men's Tests at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (W24, D7); indeed, their last defeat in such a fixture came in November 1988.
- The Brisbane Cricket Ground is the only men's Test venue in Australia where India have played more than once without picking up a victory (D1, L5); although, they have lost only one of their last five such fixtures in the country overall (W2, D2).
- A win for Australia in this match would secure three consecutive men's Test series victories; the last time they achieved such a feat was from November 2015 to February 2016.
- Australia batsmen have been dismissed LBW on 11 occasions across this series whilst India have only been out in that manner three times; all five LBWs in the previous Test were logged by Australian batsmen.
- Nathan Lyon (396) is just four wickets away from becoming the third Australian to take 400 wickets in men's Test cricket (Shane Warne & Glenn McGrath) and one game away from becoming the 13th player to appear in 100 Tests for Australia.
- Pat Cummins (Australia) has a bowling strike rate of 36.4 in men's Tests at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, the best of any player to record 500 deliveries there; his best Test innings figures came at this venue (6/23 v Sri Lanka, January 2019).
- Steven Smith (Australia) scored his eighth Test century versus India last time out; he needs one more for the outright most by any player against India in the men's format (currently level with Garfield Sobers, Viv Richards & Ricky Ponting).
- Rishabh Pant (India) has a batting strike rate of 73.4 in Tests versus Australia, only three players (500+ runs scored) have better rates against them in the history of the men's format (Kapil Dev - 77.3, Sarfaraz Ahmed - 76.5 & Virender Sehwag - 75.7).
- Cheteshwar Pujara has been removed four times (in six innings) by Pat Cummins during this Test series, the most instances by any bowler against a batsman across the tour; scoring just 42 in response (averaging 10.5).
