- Australia will be looking to win back-to-back men’s Tests against India for the first time since December 2014 after logging a nine-wicket win in their most recent encounter; though, they haven’t won consecutive games within a single series against them in India since December 1969.
- This will be the first ever meeting between India and Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium in men’s Tests; though, India have lost only one of their last 13 games at the venue (W6 D6).
- India will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in men’s Tests at home for the first time since December 2012 after succumbing to a nine-wicket defeat to Australia in the third Test of this ongoing series.
- Australia batters have scored an average of 25.3 runs per wicket in men’s Tests in 2023, their lowest rate since 1956 when they averaged just 21.6 runs per wicket.
- India have not lost multiple games in a men’s Test series on home soil since losing 1-2 to England in November-December of 2012; they’ve lost one game so far in the current series against Australia.
- India have scored 53% of all their runs against spin bowling via boundaries in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the highest rate of any team in that time; in fact, no other team has scored even half of their runs against spin via boundaries in that period.
- Australia have made 11 runouts in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the most of any team in the format in that time and nine more than India; however, India (3) have had the fewest batters dismissed via runout of any team to have played more than two men’s Tests in that time.
- Cheteshwar Pujara (1,991 runs) is nine away from becoming the fourth Indian batter to score 2,000 runs against Australia in Test cricket; indeed, his 1991 runs in the format against the Baggy Greens is his most against any side.
- Nathan Lyon (Australia) has taken 53 Test wickets in India, the second most of any visiting player in the history of the men’s format; only England’s Derek Underwood (54) has taken more.
- Virat Kohli (India) has made a good connection on 82% of his 219 balls faced during the current men’s Test series against Australia, the highest of any player to have faced at least 60 balls this series.
