- Ajaz Patel became the third bowler after Jim Laker (10-53 vs. Australia at Manchester in 1956) and Anil Kumble (10-74 vs. Pakistan at Delhi in 1998-99) to take all ten wickets in a Test innings. Ajaz is the first bowler to perform the feat in a team's first innings.
- Patel naturally broke many records. His 10-119 is the best bowling by a New Zealand player surpassing Sir Richard Hadlee’s 9 for 52 against Australia at Brisbane in 1985-86.
- Although Kumble’s 10-74 is the best bowling performance in India, Patel’s analysis is the best against India in India surpassing Nathan Lyon’s 8-50 at Bangalore in 2016-17. It is also the best bowling performance against India in any country overtaking Jack Noreiga’s 9-95 for West Indies at Port-of-Spain in 1970-71.
- Ajaz's match performance of 14-225 is the second-best for New Zealand after Sir Richard Hadlee's 15-123 against Australia at Brisbane in 1985-86.
- Ajaz’s match analysis is the best against India in India, surpassing Sir Ian Botham’s 13 for 106, also at Wankhede, in 1979-80. It is the fifth best by any bowler in India, the best being Narendra Hirwani’s debut performance of 16 for 136 against West Indies at Madras in 1987-88.
- Mayank Agarwal’s 150 is the second-highest score by an opener at Mumbai’s Wankhede ground, behind only Sunil Gavaskar’s 205 against West Indies in 1978-79.
- Agarwal’s 432-minute innings is also the longest by an opener at Wankhede, after Marvin Atapattu’s 403-minute 98 for Sri Lanka in 1997-98. It is the joint-fifth longest by any player on the ground.
- New Zealand’s 62 is their sixth-lowest Test total and their lowest in India (which was 124 at Hyderabad in 1988-89). Their lowest total (26 vs. England at Auckland in 1954-55) is also Test cricket’s lowest.
- It is also the lowest, completed total in India, beating India’s 75 vs. West Indies at Delhi in 1987-88.
- It is also therefore the lowest, completed total at Wankhede which was previously Australia’s 93 in 2004-05.
- The New Zealand innings saw the 31st occasion of an innings top-scorer making no more than 17 runs. The lowest, highest score in a Test at Wankhede is Matthew Hayden’s 24 in 2004-05.
- The highest partnership of the innings (15) is the joint-16th lowest in a completed Test innings. The lowest is 8 (on two occasions) for South Africa vs. England at Birmingham in 1924 and for New Zealand vs. England at Auckland in 1954-55.
- The above is also a record for Tests played in India, surpassing the 21 for Afghanistan’s tenth wicket against India at Bangalore in 2018.
- Agarwal became the eighth Indian opener to score 150 (or more) and 50 (or more) in the same Test. Sunil Gavaskar recorded the feat three times, and Virender Sehwag twice.
- India's first innings lead of 263 is their seventh highest after which the follow-on was not enforced. Their highest was 319 against England at The Oval in 2007.
- India's total of 325 is their second-lowest after which no follow-on was enforced. Their lowest was 298 against New Zealand at Madras in 1976-77.
- For the sixth time in their Test history, New Zealand had sixteen or more instances of their players not reaching double figures. Their most is 18 (twice), against England at Lord's in 1958 and against Australia at Wellington in 1945-46.
- Ravichandran Ashwin's match analysis of 8 for 42 is the second most economical by an Indian bowler in a Test (based on the player taking a minimum of eight wickets). Venkatapathy Raju's 8 for 37 against Sri Lanka at Chandigarh in 1990-91 heads the list.
- New Zealand's match aggregate of 229 runs is their fifth lowest in Tests, and their lowest against India. Their lowest against all countries is 96 against Australia at Wellington in 1945-46 whilst their previous lowest against India was 241 at Auckland in 1967-68.
- New Zealand's 372-run defeat is their heaviest runs defeat in Test cricket. Their previous heaviest was 358 against South Africa at Johannesburg in 2007-08.
- The win is also India's highest in terms of runs. Their previous best was 337 against South Africa at Delhi in 2015-16.
- The eight ducks in the match is the joint-third most between India and New Zealand. The other occasions were at Hyderabad in 1988-89 and Wellington in 1998-99.
