The biggest totals to end in an innings defeat ESPNcricinfo Ltd

0 Number of bigger first-innings totals than England's 477 in this match, which resulted in an innings defeat. The previous biggest such total was 432, also by England, at The Oval, in the 2001 Ashes. This is the sixth time a team has lost after scoring 400 or more in their first innings, and four of those are by England. In the previous Test of this series, at the Wankhede, England lost after scoring 400. England's total is also the highest total, in any innings of the Test, to end in an innings defeat beating West Indies' 463 while following on at Eden Gardens in 2011-12.

18 Number of consecutive Tests without a defeat for India, their longest ever unbeaten run. Their previous longest unbeaten streak was between September 1985 and March 1987. However, they had won only four matches in that 17-Test run, compared to this sequence which has had 14 wins. Click here for the list of longest unbeaten sequences, which is topped by West Indies - 27 matches without a defeat from 1982 to 1984.

1 This was Ravindra Jadeja's first ten-wicket haul in Test cricket. He took 10 for 154 in this Test, including 7 for 48 in the second innings, both career-best figures. His previous best innings figures was 6 for 138 in Durban in 2013-14.

0 Number of captains who have led India in more successive Tests without a defeat than Virat Kohli with 18. Sunil Gavaskar had also led in 18 consecutive Tests without a loss, his first 18 Tests in charge from 1976 to 1980. Kapil Dev had a 17-Test run without a defeat. Kohli had two defeats in his first four Tests and no loss since then.
