Stats highlights from India's dominating day four in Ranchi:
525 balls taken by Pujara is the most number of balls faced in an innings by an India batsman in Tests. Among the known instances, Rahul Dravid held the record previously, playing 495 balls in his effort of 270 against Pakistan in Rawalpindi in 2004. The previous most by any batsman in India was Younis Khan - 504-ball 267 in Bengaluru in 2005.
11 Double hundreds for Pujara in first-class cricket, the joint-most for any Indian player, with Vijay Merchant. He also became the first player to go past 2000 runs in first-class cricket in a season in India. He currently has 2007 runs from 27 innings this season, 1259 of those coming in Test matches.
521 balls taken by Pujara to reach his double hundred is the slowest for India in Tests. The previous record holder was Navjot Singh Sidhu, who scored his only double hundred, off 488 balls against West Indies in Port of Spain in 1997.
199 The stand of 199 between Pujara and Saha is the highest-ever seventh-wicket stand for India against Australia, bettering 132 by Vijay Hazare and Hemu Adhikari in Adelaide in 1948.
3 Hundreds scored by Saha is the second-most by any wicketkeeper for India after six hundreds by MS Dhoni. Budhi Kunderan, Farokh Engineer and Syed Kirmani - all have scored two each. This was Saha's second hundred this season, following his unbeaten hundred against Bangladesh last month.
203 overs batted by India is the most by them in an innings against Australia, going past 202 overs in Adelaide in 1985. The last time Australia bowled over 200 overs in an innings was against South Africa in Durban in 1994 (205.2).
462 balls bowled by Steve O'Keefe is the sixth most by any Australian bowler in an innings and the most since 1980. It is also the second most number of balls bowled by any bowler in an innings in India, after 504 deliveries by Haseeb Ahsan in Chennai in 1961. The previous most by an Australian bowler in India was 345 balls by Alan Davidson in Kanpur in 1959.
4 Number of 600-plus totals for India this season - the first team to achieve the feat. There are four other instances of a team doing it three times, including thrice by India. They scored 631 and 759 against England and 687 against Bangladesh earlier this season.
