of the third Test between India and West Indies here.
# Kraig Brathwaite (53 not out) has posted his fourth fifty vs India - his tenth in Tests
# Brathwaite and Johnson were involved in a stand of 59 - the first fifty-plus opening partnership in Tests after 25 innings for the West Indies.
# With four dismissals in an innings, Shane Dowrich has produced his best performance as a wicketkeeper in Tests.
# Ishant Sharma has registered his 23rd duck in Tests - his second vs West Indies. He has equalled Bhagwat Chandrasekhar's ducks' tally and only Zaheer Khan (29) has recorded more ducks than Ishant for India in Tests.
# R Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha were associated in a 213-run stand - an Indian record for the sixth wicket vs West Indies in Tests, outstripping the 170 between Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri at Chennai in 1983-84. The said partnership is India's second highest for the sixth wicket in overseas Tests behind the 222 between Mohammad Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar vs South Africa at Cape Town in 1996-97.
# The partnership is India's fifth highest for the sixth wicket against any team - the highest being 298 (unbroken) between Ravi Shastri and Dilip Vengsarkar against Australia at Mumbai in October 1986.
# Ashwin is averaging 78.00 (234 runs in three innings), including two hundreds in the series - his highest average ever in a Test series, surpassing the 77.00 (154 in two innings) vs West Indies in 2013-14.
# Ashwin (118) has posted his fourth Test hundred. All his centuries are against the West Indies, converting all his fifty-plus innings against West Indies into hundreds.
# Sachin Tendulkar, among the Indian players, had converted his first five fifties vs Bangladesh into hundreds.
# Among the Indian players, only Sunil Gavaskar had recorded his first four hundreds against the West Indies - in his debut series in the Caribbean in 1970-71. Only three Indian players have posted more than four hundreds vs West Indies in Tests - Sunil Gavaskar (13), Dilip Vengsarkar (6) and Rahul Dravid (5).
# Ashwin has accomplished another feat. He became the first India's batsman at number six or lower to register two centuries in an away series.
# Saha (31 years and 290 days) has become the first Indian wicketkeeper to post his maiden hundred at the age of 30 or more. Syed Kirmani had posted his first hundred at the age of 29 years 309 days - an unbeaten 101 vs Australia at Mumbai in November 1979.
# Saha's innings of 104 is the highest by India's number seven batsman against West Indies in the Caribbean, eclipsing Kapil Dev's 100 not out at Port of Spain in March 1983.
# Saha, Vijay Manjrekar and Ajay Ratra are the three Indian wicketkeepers who have recorded centuries in Tests outside the subcontinent - all vs West Indies. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the only other Indian wicketkeeper to record a hundred away from home - 148 vs Pakistan at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad in January 2006.
