12 Number of five-wicket hauls by R Ashwin in just 27 Tests. Only five other bowlers had more five-fors in their first 27 Tests - Sydney Barnes (24), Waqar Younis (16), Ian Botham (14), Clarrie Grimmett (14) and Hugh Tayfield (13). Fazal Mahmood too took 12 five-fors in his first 27 Tests. For India, Subhash Gupte's 11 hauls were the highest before Ashwin's 12.

17 Wickets by Ashwin in the series - with one more Test to go this is already the most taken by an India bowler in a series in Sri Lanka. He has taken one more wicket than the 16 taken by Harbhajan Singh in the 2008 series. This is also the first time an India bowler has taken two five-fors in a series in Sri Lanka.

9 Number of five-wicket hauls by Ashwin in wins. Only two other India bowlers - Anil Kumble (20) and Harbhajan Singh (14) - have taken more five-fors in wins. Ashwin went past Bhagwath Chandrasekhar, who took eight five-fors in wins.

5 Number of India bowlers who have more five-fors in Tests than Ashwin. He is now level with Gupte, who also took 12 such hauls. Click here for a list of India bowlers with most five-fors in Tests.

278 Runs India won this Test by - their fourth-highest margin in terms of runs (excluding innings wins) and their biggest away win since they won by 279 runs at Headingley in 1986. Overall, this was their tenth-biggest win in terms of innings or runs in away Tests and their biggest since they beat Bangladesh by an innings and 239 runs in Dhaka in 2007.

2 Number of times India have fought back to win the second Test of a series in Sri Lanka after losing the first one, before this one. On both the previous occasions - in 2001 and 2008 - Sri Lanka went on to win the third Test. Overall India have had ten such wins, the previous instance before this one coming against South Africa when they lost the Centurion Test by an innings and came back to win the Durban Test.

0 Tests won by Virat Kohli as captain before this one. He had captained India in four Tests - all of them away - before this one and had come close to winning at the Adelaide Oval and in Galle. Only three other India captains took more away Tests for their first win outside India than Kohli: Mohammad Azharuddin won his first away Tests in 18 attempts, Kapil Dev took 12 Tests and MAK Pataudi took ten.

10 Tests since the last time India won, against England at Lord's last year. They had lost six of the nine Tests between this win and the Lord's one. This was India's only second win in 16 away Tests since the last time they played at home, against West Indies in 2013. They had lost eight of them.

7-72 Amit Mishra's bowing figures in this Test - his best in the 15 Tests he has played. Mishra had taken seven wickets on his debut as well, against Australia in Mohali in 2008.

2000 The last time Sri Lanka lost a Test at home by a margin (in terms of innings or runs)bigger than the one in this Test. They had lost to Pakistan in Galle by an innings and 163 runs. This was also their second-biggest such margin of defeat at P Sara Oval after their 301-run defeatagainst Pakistan in 1994.

134 Sri Lanka's total in their second innings - the third-lowest total for which they have been bowled out by India in Tests and their lowest since the Ahmedabad Test in 1994 when they made 119. This was Sri Lanka's lowest total against India at home.

23 Number of Test innings since debut Jehan Mubarak has gone without scoring a fifty. His duck in Sri Lanka's second innings was the fifth of his career. Mubarak has made 385 runs in 23 innings with a highest of 49 which came in the Galle Test against India. Before Mubarak, Marvan Atapattu, had taken the longest to get his maiden fifty-plus score in Tests, after 17 innings.

De Villiers went past 8000 runs in just his 182nd innings, 18 innings quicker than India's Sourav Ganguly and 28 innings quicker than Sachin Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in ODIs.

 

Ganguly scored 8000 runs in his 200th ODI innings against West Indies in Nagpur in 2002. Before Ganguly, Tendulkar had achieved the mark in his 210th ODI innings during the 1999 World Cup match against Pakistan in Old Trafford.
