|
- England's 112 is their joint seventh-lowest, completed first innings total against all opposition after winning the toss and batting. It is also significantly their lowest total in the same circumstances against India when their 195 at Bombay in 1984-85 was their lowest.
- England's total is the seventh-lowest, and their second-lowest, in Test history to include a fifty. The lowest total is Sri Lanka's 82 against India at Chandigarh in 1990-91, whilst England's lowest is 105 against Australia at Melbourne in 1907-08.
- England's innings was their 32nd occasion where they have lost their last eight wickets in a completed innings for fewer than 50 runs. Their worst (from the loss of their third wicket to being all out) is 17 against Australia at Melbourne in 1907-08.
- England's percentage of boundaries (57.14) is their seventh-highest in a completed innings where they have scored no more than their 112 at Ahmedabad. Their highest percentage of boundaries in an innings lower than 112 is 64.08 when they made 103 against Australia at Lord's in 2015.
- Ishant Sharma became the eleventh Indian cricketer to play 100 Tests. Ishant is also the second Indian, and twelfth in total, pace bowler to achieve this feat. Ishant's six in India's first innings was the first of his Test career.
- India's 145 is their joint sixth-lowest total against England in India. Their lowest is 83 at Madras in 1976-77.

- Joe Root became the ninth England captain to take five wickets in a Test innings. Root's 5 for 8, his maiden five-wicket haul, is the fourth such best analysis and the first since Bob Willis's 5 for 35 against New Zealand at Headingley in 1983.
- Root's figures are the most economical by a slow bowler taking five or more wickets in an innings in India ahead of Michael Clarke's 6 for 9 at Mumbai in 2004-05. Both Clarke and Root bowled 6.2 overs each for their final return.
- India have had twelve previous collapses where they have lost their last seven wickets for 30 runs or fewer in Tests. Their lowest is 11 against Australia at Gahunje in 2016-17 when they were dismissed for 105 after being 94 for 3.

- Jonny Bairstow's pair is the ninety-eighth such occasion by an England player in Tests.
- The Test saw the third occasion of twelve or more wickets falling lbw in a match where no more than thirty wickets fell. The most in the same circumstances is 13 (out of 30) in the Pakistan vs. New Zealand Test at Rawalpindi in 1996-97.
- England's second innings 81 is their lowest total in a completed innings against India. Their previous lowest was 101 at The Oval in 1971. Their first innings 112 is their fifth-lowest total against India, and their third-lowest in India.

- England's second innings saw the 34th occasion of one of their batsmen top-scoring with no more than 25 in a completed innings.
- England registered their most ducks in a Test (6) against India. They had previously made five at Madras in 1992-93. There have been four occasions of their making seven ducks in a Test against all opposition.
- The match aggregate of 387 runs is the tenth-lowest with a result in Test history. The lowest is 234 for 29 wickets between Australia and South Africa at Melbourne in 1931-32.
- The match aggregate is significantly the lowest between England and India, the previous lowest being 482 for 31 wickets at Lord's in 1936.
- It is also the lowest match aggregate with a result in India, surpassing the 557 for 32 wickets at Kanpur in 1951-52 between India and England.

Ravichandran Ashwin became the sixteenth bowler, and fourth from India, to take 400 Test wickets.
- The Test was the seventh-shortest with a result by balls bowled. The Ahmedabad Test lasted 842 balls, with the shortest being 656 between Australia and South Africa at Melbourne in 1931-32.
- It is also the shortest Test in India, overtaking the 968-ball match between India and Bangladesh at Kolkata in 2019-20.
- It is the sixth-shortest Test in which England has been involved and the second-shortest in which England have been defeated. England's shortest match was 672 balls at Bridgetown in 1934-35 when they beat West Indies by four wickets. Their only shorter defeat was against Australia at Lord's in 1888 in a match which lasted 792 balls.
- On only four previous occasions have England been defeated in fewer than the 476 balls which they received in the Ahmedabad Test.
- The Ahmedabad Test's highest partnership, 64 between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, is the lowest, yet highest, in a Test in India with a result.
