    # Dravid's aggregate of 1945 (ave.64.83) in 23 Tests is the second highest by an Indian batsman against the West Indies, next only to Sunil Gavaskar - 2749 (ave.65.45) in 27 Tests.

    # Ravichandran Ashwin (5/156) has recorded his second five-wicket analysis in Tests - his career-best is 6 for 47 in the Delhi Test.

    # Ashwin's tally of 18 wickets at 26.11 runs apiece is a new record by an Indian bowler in a three-Test series on debut.
