30-0 – India has maintained an undefeated record in chasing targets of 200 runs or fewer in home Test matches. Out of 33 instances where India chased such targets at home, they won 30 matches, while the remaining three ended in draws with the team being within 70 runs of the target.
India Defeats England In The Fourth Test
17 – India has secured 17 consecutive Test series victories at home since defeating Australia in 2013. This streak surpasses Australia’s ten-series winning streak at home between 1994-2000 and 2004-2008.
46 – India conceded a 46-run first-innings lead in Ranchi, marking the seventh highest first-innings deficit overturned to win while batting second in Tests. The Ranchi Test is only the 13th instance where India won batting second despite conceding a first-innings lead.
971 – Yashasvi Jaiswal has amassed 971 runs in his eight-match Test career, the highest tally by an Indian batter after eight Test matches, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s 938 runs. Jaiswal’s aggregate is also the second-highest by any batter in their first eight Tests, following Don Bradman’s 1210 runs.
23 years, 33 days – Dhurv Jurel, aged 23 years and 33 days during the Ranchi Test, became the fifth-youngest wicket keeper to win the Player-of-the-Match award and the second-youngest Indian player to do so. Ajay Ratra remains the youngest at 20 years and 148 days, achieving the feat against West Indies in 2002.
55 – Rohit Sharma’s 55 runs in the chase mark his highest fourth-innings score in Tests. He had only managed one 50-plus score in fourth-innings in all first-class cricket before this, scoring 52 against Australia in the 2021 Sydney Test.
Rohit’s 55 also stands as the third-highest individual score by an Indian captain in a successful fourth-innings chase, following Sourav Ganguly’s 98* against Sri Lanka in 2001 and 65* against Zimbabwe in 2000.
47 – Rajat Patidar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sarfaraz Khan, India’s middle-order batters in Ranchi, collectively scored 47 runs. This marks the lowest runs by India’s Nos. 4-6 in a men’s Test since their 45-run total against West Indies in 1983 in Ahmedabad.
The 47 runs by India’s 4-6 in Ranchi across both innings represent the lowest tally for India in a winning match and the 11th lowest for any team in a men’s Test victory.
4 – The combined runs by India’s 4-6 batters in the fourth innings in Ranchi are the lowest by any team in a successful chase in Tests. The previous lowest was 12 by New Zealand against West Indies in Dunedin in 1980.
The quartet’s four runs during the 192-run chase mark the joint-fourth lowest ever by Nos. 4-6 for India in a men’s Test innings.
8 – Eight reviews were dismissed by umpire’s call in Ranchi – six by India and two by England. India used four of those reviews while batting in the first innings.
