Jaiswal and India break six-hitting records،
12 – Number of sixes in Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 214 against England in Rajkot, equaling Wasim Akram's record for the most sixes in a Test innings.
1 – Jaiswal is the first Indian batter – and seventh overall – to convert his first three Test hundreds into over 150 scores (171, 209 and 214*).
22 years 49 days – Jaiswal's age at the start of the Rajkot Test, making him the third youngest player to score two double tons in Test cricket. Vinod Kambli did it at the age of 21 years and 54 days, while Don Bradman was 21 years and 318 days.
3 – Indian batsmen with double centuries in consecutive Tests, including Jaiswal against England. Kambli scored two hundreds in successive Tests against England and Zimbabwe in 1993, while Virat Kohli did so against Sri Lanka in 2017.
28 – Number of sixes India hit against England at Rajkot, the most by any team in a Test match. They smashed their record 27 sixes against South Africa in the 2019 Vizag Test. Eighteen of the 28 came in the second innings, the second highest number in a Test innings after the 22 of New Zealand vs Pakistan in Sharjah Test 2014.
48 – Six for India so far in this series against England, the most for any team in a series, surpassing their 47 sixes against South Africa in 2019. Twenty-two of those 48 came off Jaiswal's bat, the most by a batter in a Test series, surpassing Rohit Sharma's 19 against South Africa in 2019.
4 – India strike with 50-plus scores in both innings on men's Test debut, including Sarfaraz Khan in Rajkot. Dilawar Hussain against England in 1934, Sunil Gavaskar against West Indies in 1971 and Shreyas Iyer against New Zealand in 2021 scored two 50-plus scores on debut. Sarfaraz's strike rate (94.2) is by far the highest among the 43 batters with two fifty-plus scores on debut in men's Tests (where ball data is available).
2009 – The previous example of a team scoring over 400 in total in both innings of a Test match – India vs Sri Lanka in Ahmedabad. Overall, it was only the eleventh time that a team had scored more than 400 in total across two innings of a Test.
6.53 – Run rate during Jaiswal and Sarfaraz's partnership, seventh highest for any 150+ ball stand in men's Tests (where data is available). This is the highest and longest partnership scored beyond the single run-a-ball for India in men's Tests.
557 – India's target in Rajkot is the second highest for them in Test cricket, behind the 617 against New Zealand in the 2009 Wellington Test.
434 – India's winning margin in Rajkot is the largest in terms of runs in Test cricket. Their previous biggest such victory was by 372 runs against New Zealand at the Wankhede in 2021. It is also the eighth-biggest victory by runs in Test cricket and the second-biggest against England, behind Australia's 562-run victory in 1934 at The Oval.
9 – Player of the match awards for Ravindra Jadeja in home Tests – the most for an Indian, equaling Anil Kumble. Since his debut in December 2012, no other player has won as many Player of the Match awards in home Tests as Jadeja. Jadeja has won 10 player of the match awards in Test cricket in total – the third-most for India in this format, behind only Sachin Tendulkar (14) and Rahul Dravid (11).
2 – Examples of a century and a five-wicket haul in the same Test from Jadeja – he had done it against Sri Lanka in Mohali in 2022 before this match. Only Ian Botham (5) and R Ashwin (3) have recorded this double more often than Jadeja in Test cricket, while Gary Sobers, Mushtaq Mohammad, Jacques Kallis and Shakib Al Hasan have also done it twice.
11 – Test hundreds for Rohit Sharma – all came for a winning cause. No other player has ten cents or more in this format and everyone gets a win. Travis Head (7), Warwick Armstrong (6), Darren Lehmann (5) and Ollie Pope (5) are the other players with five or more Test hundreds, all of whom have achieved victories.
122 – England's total at Rajkot is lowest in Tests under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. Their previous lowest (small chases aside) was 141 in their first innings of the Lord's Test against New Zealand in 2022, which was the first of 21 Tests they played under the Stokes-McCullum duo.
33 – Test wins for India against England – the most for them against any team, surpassing their 32 wins against Australia. Twenty-four of the 33 wins against England have come at home, which is also the most home Test wins for India against any team, surpassing the 23 against Australia.
