4 India batters, who in the second innings, outscored their team's first-innings total of 46: Rohit Sharma (52), Virat Kohli (70), Sarfaraz Khan (150) and Rishabh Pant (99). Only one team had more batters outscoring their first-innings total in a Men's Test - five by South Africa against England in 1924 in Birmingham.

416 The difference in runs between India's two totals in Bengaluru is the second-highest for any team after being bowled out for a sub-100 first-innings score. The highest is also by India, who scored 422 runs more in the second innings (505 for 3) than the 83 all-out in the first innings against New Zealand in Mohali in 1999.

10.04 The ratio between India's totals in Bengaluru - 462 all-out and 46 all-out. It is the second-highest ratio between a team's totals in a Test match, behind South Africa's 13.00 - 30 all-out and 390 all-out against England in 1924.

462 India's second-innings total against New Zealand is the second-lowest all-out total in Tests, where the top five batters aggregated 400-plus runs. The lowest is 433 by Australia against England in 1970 at Brisbane.

3 Indian batters with a duck and a 150-plus score in a Test match, including Sarfaraz. Madhav Apte followed up his first-innings duck with an unbeaten 163 against West Indies in 1953 at Port of Spain, while Nayan Mongia bagged a duck after scoring 152 in the first innings against Australia in 1996 in Delhi.

Sarfaraz is now only the 13th batter to follow up his first-innings duck with a 150-plus score in a Test match. The last of the previous 12 was Dimuth Karunaratne against New Zealand in 2014 in Christchurch.

59 Runs Sarfaraz scored behind the wicket on either side during his 150-run knock. These are the third-most runs scored by an India batter behind the wicket on either side in a men's Test innings since 2002, according to ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball data logs.

Rahul Dravid scored 61 runs behind the wicket on either side against Pakistan in 2004 during his 270 in Rawalpindi, while Kohli scored 60 against South Africa in 2019 during his 254* in Pune.

7 Dismissals in the nineties for Rishabh Pant in Test cricket. No batter other than Pant has been dismissed more than three times in the nineties since his debut in August 2018. He is also the only batter with more nineties than centuries scored (among players with five or more hundreds in Test cricket)

Pant also became the first Indian batter to be dismissed on 99 in Tests since Murali Vijay against Australia in 2014 at the Adelaide Oval.

7 for 62 India's total in the 19.3 overs after the second new ball was taken by New Zealand. They managed only 29 runs for the loss of six wickets in the 11.3 overs after William O'Rourke was introduced in the 89th over.

42 Runs added by India after the fall of their fifth wicket across both innings in Bengaluru. These are the second-fewest runs by India for their last five partnerships across both innings in a Men's Test, behind the 28 against Australia in 2017 in Pune.

7 Indian batters to have bagged a duck in Bengaluru, the joint-most for them in a Test match. Seven Indian batters bagged ducks also against England in 1952 in Leeds.
