India VS. England Fifth Test Highlights, Dharamsala

Jonny Bairstow and Ravichandran both celebrated their 100th Tests. This is the fourth occasion of two players reaching the landmark in the same Test: Michael Atherton and Alec Stewart in 2000; Michael Clarke and Sir Alastair Cook in 2013 and, in 2006 in a Test between South Africa and New Zealand, three players (Stephen Fleming, Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock) all did so.
Ashwin, however, joined Dilip Vengsarkar, Allan Border, Courtney Walsh, Mark Taylor, Fleming, Sir Alastair Cook, Brendon McCullum and Cheteshwar Pujara in scoring a duck in their 100th Test.
If Ashwin's 100th Test batting was unsuccessful, his bowling, however, was not. His match analysis of 9 for 128 is the most successful by any player in this landmark Test. The previous best was Muttiah Muralitharan's 9 for 141 for Sri Lanka against Bangladesh at Chittagong in 2005-06.
Ashwin became the fourth bowler to take five wickets in an innings during their 100th Test appearance. He joins Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble.
Ben Stokes's first-innings duck is only his second as captain in 40 innings.
After the Test, Ashwin had dismissed Stokes 13 times. This places him joint seventh in the list of "nemeses" of a particular bowler. There are twenty players in this list which is headed by Glenn McGrath's twenty dismissals of Michael Atherton.
Yashasvi Jaiswal reached 1000 Test runs in only his ninth Test and sixteenth innings. In terms of Tests played to score the runs, Jaiswal achieved the feat in the same number of Tests as Everton Weekes, Herbert Sutcliffe and George Headley with only Don Bradman performing the feat in fewer (7). In terms of innings, Jaiswal is joint sixth quickest (with Frank Worrell, Lawrence Rowe and Len Hutton) with Neil Harvey and Vinod Kambli (14); Bradman (13) and Sutcliffe and Weekes (12) above him.
For only the fourth time in their history, India's first five in the batting order passed fifty. Their other occasions were against Australia at Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1997-98; against New Zealand at Mohali in 1999-2000 and at Mumbai (Brabourne Stadium) against Sri Lanka in 2009-10.
For England, this was also the fourth time when they had conceded fifties to the first five opposition players in the same innings. All previous occasions had been against Australia: at Lord's in 1993; at Trent Bridge in 1997 and at The Oval in 2001.
In every Test in this series, England have had at least one innings where only one player has passed fifty. In both the first, second and fifth Tests, they did so in both innings. In the second innings of the Third Test, no-one scored fifty.
In his 187th Test, James Anderson became the third player, but the first pace bowler, to take 700 Test wickets. The other players are Muttiah Muralitharan (800 in 133 Tests) and Shane Warne (708 in 145). Stuart Broad's 604 wickets in 167 Tests is the next best performance by a pace bowler.
Tom Hartley's debut series tally of 22 wickets is joint-tenth best for England. Hartley's performance is second best though by an English player making his debut in India with only John Lever (26 in 1976-77) above him.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's series aggregate of 712 runs (average 89) is the highest by an Indian player against England overtaking Virat Kohli's 655 (average 109.17) in 2016-17.
The 4-1 series result is the first such result in a five-Test series held in India.
For the third time in their Test history, England lost all their wickets in a minimum of a five-Test series. The other occasions were against Australia in Australia in 2013-14 and against West Indies in West Indies in 1985-86.
The overall series "experience" ratio was 1.98 between the two sides with England having 3227 caps to India's 1629 at the end of the series.
The 72 sixes hit by India in the series is significantly the highest by any team beating their own 47 against South Africa in India in 2019-20 (in a three-Test series).
