# Zaheer Khan [Images] completed his 200 wickets in 144 ODIs, his victim being Pakistan's captain, Shoaib Malik [Images].

# Zaheer is now the fifth Indian bowler to have bagged 200 wickets or more in one-day internationals, joining Anil Kumble (337), Javagal Srinath (315), Ajit Agarkar [Images] (288) and Kapil Dev [Images] (253).

# Zaheer's feat of claiming 200 wickets in 144 ODIs is the second fastest by an Indian bowler, next only to Ajit Agarkar, who had accomplished the feat in 133 ODIs. Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath share the third spot, achieving the distinction in 147 ODIs each.

# Yousuf missed his 14th century by just a single run. This was his fifth score in the 90s.

# In the history of ODIs, Yousuf is the eighth batsman to remain unbeaten on 99 and the third to do so against India, joining New Zealand's Bruce Edgar at Auckland (1981) and West Indian Ramnaresh Sarwan [Images] at Ahmedabad (2002).

# Sourav Ganguly (5) has made 284 runs in 13 innings against Pakistan in India at an average of 21.84, with just one half-century, 57 off 90 balls at Mohali in April 1999.
