India vs. England Second Test Highlights, Visakhapatnam

  • Yashasvi Jaiswal's 209, his highest Test score, is also the first occasion for India where one player has scored over 200 whilst no-one else has scored fifty. The same has happened only five times previously in Test cricket: for South Africa vs. Australia at Old Wanderers in 1935/36; for England vs. West Indies at The Oval in 1950; for Australia vs. England at Adelaide in 1950/51; for Sri Lanka vs. Zimbabwe at Bulawayo in 1999/2000 and for West Indies vs. Australia at Adelaide in 2005/06.
  • Jasprit Bumrah's 6 for 45 is the second-best innings analysis at Visakhapatnam behind Ravichandran Ashwin's 7 for 145 against South Africa in 2019-20. For the third occasion in his Test career, Bumrah took nine wickets in a match.
  • Shubman Gill became the first Indian fielder to hold four catches in an innings since Lokesh Rahul in 2018. In total, fourteen Indian fielders have performed the feat (with Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammad Azharuddin and Yujurvindra Singh each taking five in the same innings.
  • Bumrah become the joint-third quickest Indian bowler to take 150 Test wickets, in his 34th Test. Erapalli Prasanna and Harbhajan Singh both achieved the feat in their 34 Test and the only bowlers to do so in fewer are Ravichandran Ashwin (29) and Ravindra Jadeja (31). Bumrah is the quickest Indian pace bowler to do so ahead of Javagal Srinath (38) and Mohammed Shami and Kapil Dev (39).
  • For the first time since Wellington in 1998-99, an Indian side contained a centurion in each of their (completed) innings but with no-one else passing fifty in either innings.
  • Bumrah's second innings, 26-ball duck is the fifth-longest (by balls) by an Indian player failing to score a run. The record of 29 balls is jointly held by Irfan Pathan, Rishabh Pant and Suresh Raina.
  • Zak Crawley became the fourteenth England player to top score in both innings of a Test against India. Crawley's is the eighth occasion of the feat being performed in India. The last occasion against India by an England player in India was by Sir Andrew Strauss at Chennai in 2008-09.
  • The England second innings saw the first occasion against India in India of their first nine players reaching double figures. Their only other occasion of this against India was at Headingley in 1952.
  • The only other occasion where the first nine England players have reached double figures but with only one making between 50 and 99 was against Pakistan at Headingley in 2018.
  • For the first time in their Test history, an England side registered six individual scores between 20 and 39 but with only one further score of between 50 and 99 in a completed innings. They have had two occasions where seven of their players fell between 20 and 39, against South Africa at Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in 1913-14 and against Pakistan at Headingley in 2006. On these last two occasions, England's totals included centurions.
