- India have never lost a bilateral Test series at home to Sri Lanka (2+ matches); winning four times, including Sri Lanka's last two such tours there (D1).
- In fact, Sri Lanka are yet to claim a single Test victory in India (D7 L10); they have lost their last two matches there, both by innings margins.
- India have played more Test matches at Eden Gardens than anywhere else (40) but have only managed a win rate of 30% there (W12 D19 L9); only at one other home venue (Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, 28%) have they registered a lower win percentage (10+ Tests).
- Dilruwan Perera is seven away from reaching 100 Test wickets; he is set to become only the third spinner to reach the milestone for Sri Lanka, despite having only played 22 Test matches to date (Muralitharan & Herath).
- India's Ravichandran Ashwin and Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath have claimed more Test wickets than anybody else since the start of 2015; taking 178 and 145 respectively in that time.
