• Henriques` match tally of 149 is the second highest by an Australian batsman against India on Test debut. Michael Clarke`s 168 (151 + 17) in the 2004-05 Bangalore Test is an Australian record against India on debut.
• Dhoni has equalled Sourav Ganguly`s feat of 21 Indian victories in Tests. As against Ganguly`s 49 Tests, Dhoni has played 44 as captain.
