Another interesting fact was that the first 8 Indian batsmen - from Karthik to Kumble - made a contribution of at least 25 runs.

This is only the second such happening in Test chronicles. There is only one better performance and that came against India!

Actually the first 8 Indian batsmen made at least 35 runs, which makes it the first such instance in Test cricket. The previous record was of 7 batsmen doing so on three occasions.

There were 8 partnerships of 50 and more in the Indian innings - 62 for the first, 127 for the second, 77 for the fourth, 76 for the fifth, 63 for the sixth, 91 for the seventh, 62 for the eighth and 73 for the tenth wicket.

The only failures were the third-wicket partnership (between Karthik and Tendulkar) that produced 10 runs, and the ninth-wicket partnership (between Kumble and RP Singh) that produced 21 runs.

This provides the first instance in Test annals of a side with eight fifty-plus partnerships in the same innings. No side had even managed seven fifty-partnerships before.
