- The Indian first innings saw the ninth occasion of an Indian side featuring four (or more) ducks in India. Their most is five at Mohali against New Zealand in 1999-2000, whilst their last occasion was against South Africa at Ahmedabad in 2007-08.
- Rohit Sharma's 161 is the sixth-highest score by an opener at Chepauk. Virender Sehwag leads the way with 319 against South Africa in 2007-08.
- Sharma's runs came at a percentage of 64.92 by the time he was dismissed, the seventh-highest by an opener in India scoring a century. Graham Gooch's 127 out of 155 at a percentage of 81.94 at Chepauk in 1981-82 is the highest (by any batsman) scoring a century.
- England's 134 is the second-lowest, completed Test total at Chepauk behind only India's 83 against England in 1976-77.
- England's total is their ninth instance in India of not having one batsman score a fifty in an innings where all ten wickets were lost. Their lowest total in such circumstances is 102 at Bombay in 1981-82 whilst four of these occasions have been played in Chennai, three times at Chepauk and once at the Corporation Ground.
- Ben Foakes's unbeaten 42 is the seventh occasion of an England wicket-keeper top scoring in an innings in India.
- Ravichandran Ashwin's second innings hundred is his third at number 8, the most by an Indian player. Kamran Akmal (3) and Daniel Vettori (4) are the only other players to perform the feat.
- Ashwin's performance is the thirty-sixth occasion of a cricketer scoring a century and taking five or more wickets in one innings of the same Test. Ashwin has performed the feat on three occasions with only Vinoo Mankad and Polly Umrigar managing the same for India.
- Ashwin's match performance is the nineteenth (and his second) occasion of a player scoring a century and taking a minimum of eight wickets in a Test. Sir Ian Botham performed the feat three times.
- The Indian second innings saw the sixth occasion at Chepauk of four or more batsmen being dismissed lbw in the same innings.
- The twenty-four scores of under double figures during the Test is the joint most at Chepauk. There were two previous occasions of 24, India vs. England in 1976-77 and India vs. West Indies in 1978-79.
- Axar Patel became the ninth Indian bowler to record a five-wicket innings analysis in his first Test. There have been ten occasions of this feat, six bowlers doing so in the first innings and four in the second. Narendra Hirwani, like Australia's Bob Massie at Lord's in 1972, took eight wickets in both innings of his first Test against West Indies, also at Chepauk, in 1987-88.
- The England second innings saw the second occasion of a number 9 top-scoring in a side's innings at Chepauk. Moeen Ali joined Shane Warne in 1997-98 in achieving the feat.
- England's match aggregate of 298 runs is their third-lowest against India and is based on all ten wickets being lost in both innings. Their lowest is 230 at Headingley in 1986.
- The Test saw the sixth occasion of five or more batsmen being dismissed stumped during the match. Of this number, Chepauk has produced three of these instances.
- The Test saw the 118th instance of 17 or more opposition wickets falling to the other side's slow bowlers.
- By contrast, the 32 match wickets shared by slow bowlers is the seventeenth most in Test history. The most is 38 on two occasions, between Sri Lanka and England at Pallekele in 2018-19 and Bangladesh and Afghanistan at Chittagong in 2019.
- India's 317-run victory is the seventh largest (by runs margin) in Tests played in India. The highest is 342 by Australia over India at Nagpur in 2004-05.
- The last time when England lost all twenty wickets in a Test without an individual fifty was against Australia at Sydney in 2013-14.
