- India have won six of their last eight men’s Test series against Australia (L2), including their last three in succession – their longest winning run in such series in the history of the format.
- India have lost only one of their last 15 men’s Tests against Australia at home (W11, D3), a 333-run loss in February 2017; India have batted second in the game in nine of the last 10 matches in that span.
- Australia have lost only one of their last 10 men’s Test series (W7, D2), a 2-1 defeat to India in January 2021; they have won each of their last two such series – the last time they enjoyed a longer winning run was a span of three from November 2015 to February 2016.
- India have lost only one of their six men’s Tests at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium (W4, D1), an innings and six-run defeat to South Africa in February 2010; they defeated Australia by 172 runs in their only previous meeting at the ground in the format (November 2008).
- Australia have a collective batting average of 46 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best of any team in that time and more than 12 runs higher than India (33).
- India have scored 54% of their runs from boundaries in men’s Tests since the start of 2022, the best rate of any team in that time; Australia (46%) are ranked last in this category.
- Steven Smith (30) is one away from recording the outright third most hundreds for Australia in men’s Tests (also Matthew Hayden – 30); he has scored 50+ in three of his last four Test innings against India, including a century in that span (131, 81, 36, 55).
- Axar Patel (47) is three away from reaching 50 wickets for India in men’s Tests; if he achieves the milestone in this match (9*) he’d be the joint-fastest player to reach it for India in the history of the format (also Ravichandran Ashwin – 9 matches).
- Travis Head (Australia) has a batting dot ball percentage of 58% in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the third best rate of any player (min. 100 balls faced) in that time behind only England duo Ben Duckett (53%) and Harry Brook (57%).
- Jaydev Unadkat (India) has induced a batting false shot percentage of 37% in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any player in that time (min. 2 overs bowled).
