India VS. Sri Lanka First Test Highlights, Mohali
     
  • Ravindra Jadeja became the first men's cricketer to make a score of 150 or more and take nine (or more) wickets in the same match. The previous highest score was 137 by Shakib Al Hasan for Bangladesh against Zimbabwe at Khulna in 2014-15.
  • India's 574 for 8 is their highest total at Mohali surpassing their 516 against Pakistan in 2004-05. The highest score on the ground is New Zealand's 630 for 6 in 2003-04.
  • Jadeja's unbeaten 175 is the highest score by a number 7 for India. It is also the seventh highest score by a number 7 for any country, the highest being, somewhat surprisingly, Don Bradman's 270 for Australia against England at Melbourne in 1936-37.
  • For the fourth occasion, and the thirty-second time for all countries, India had six partnerships of 50 or more in one innings. They hold the world record of eight (at The Oval against England in 2007). There have been no instances of seven fifty partnerships in an innings.
  • The century partnership between Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin was India's 600th.
  • Ashwin surpassed Kapil Dev's 434 wickets during the match to become India's second-highest wicket-taker behind Anil Kumble (619).
  • Sri Lanka's defeat by an innings and 222 runs is their third heaviest in their history. Their heaviest is also to India, by an innings and 239 runs at Nagpur in 2017-18 followed by defeat to South Africa at Cape Town in 2001 by an innings and 229 runs.
  • For the seventh time in their Test history, Sri Lanka lost five players lbw in one innings. This also includes their second occasion in India, the last being at Kanpur in 1986-87.
  • Virat Kohli became the thirty-second player, and sixth from India, to score 8000 Test runs.
  • Kohli also became the seventy-first, and twelfth from India, to play 100 Tests.
  • For the fifth time in Tests, the last four players in an innings were all dismissed for ducks. All occasions have taken place since 1994-95.
  • The match saw the third occasion of a Sri Lankan side recoding seven (or more) ducks in a match. With West Indies, they share the joint record of nine, made at Chandigarh against India in 1991-92.
