- India have never lost a bilateral Test series at home to Sri Lanka (2+ matches) winning four times (D1), including Sri Lanka's last two such tours there; victory in this match will mean they cannot lose this one either.
- Sri Lanka are yet to claim a single Test victory in India (D8 L10); the draw in the series opener ended a run of back-to-back innings defeats there however (those losses were in 2009 though).
- India have only tasted defeat once before at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur (W3 D1), meanwhile they have only lost three times in Test cricket with Virat Kohli as their skipper (W19 D8).
- Dilruwan Perera is four 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 23 Test matches to date (Muralitharan & Herath).
- Cheteshwar Pujara has averaged 66.1 across his 15 Test innings so far in 2017; the highest rate of any batsman to register eight or more knocks in this calendar year.
