Stats highlights from the fourth day's play from Chepauk:
303 not out by Karun turned out to be the third highest individual score for India in Test matches. Virender Sehwag's 304-ball 319 is still the highest individual score by an Indian in the longest format of the game.
3 Karun became the third player to convert his maiden Test century to a triple hundred after Gary Sobers (365*) and Bob Simpson (311). Vinod Kambli (224) and Dilip Sardesai (200*) are the other two Indian cricketers to have converted hundred into a double century.
8 triple hundreds have been scored against England in Tests so far. However, this is the first triple hundred scored by a cricketer from Asia against England. The previous highest by an Asian batsman was Zaheer Abbas's 274 in Edgbaston in 1971. On the other hand, 235 by Virat Kohli in the Mumbai Test was the previous highest individual score for India against England.
2 Previous instances of Indian player batting at number five or below scoring double hundreds. Karuns 303 is the best among the three followed by 224 by MS Dhoni and 200* by VVS Laxman, both against Australia. The only other players batting at five or below and scoring triple hundreds are Michael Clarke (329*), Don Bradman (304) and Brendon McCullum (302).
3 Tests and three innings taken by Karun to score his maiden triple hundred - the fewest number of matches anyone has taken to reach the aforementioned landmark in Test cricket. The previous best was six Tests and nine innings taken by Len Hutton. It also turns out to be the highest individual score by any cricketer in his maiden series, bettering the 113-year record of Tip Foster (287).
232 runs scored by Karun in the day is the third most in a day's play for India after 284 by Sehwag against Sri Lanka at the Brabourne Stadium in 2009 and 257 by Sehwag against South Africa the same venue in 2008. The previous most anyone scored on the fourth day of a Test match was 222 by Nathan Astle against England in Christchurch in 2002.
8 Karun became the eighth Indian to score two or more first-class triple centuries. He scored 328 for Karnataka against Tamil Nadu in the 2014-15 Ranji Trophy season, which is the highest in a Ranji Trophy final. He joined Cheteshwar Pujara (3), Ravindra Jadeja (3), Vijay Hazare, Raman Lamba, VVS Laxman, Wasim Jaffer and Virender Sehwag in the elite list.
759/7 decl. is the highest ever team total for India in Tests and the fourth time they have scored 700-plus in an innings. It is also the highest against England, surpassing 751 for five declare by West Indies at St Johns, Antigua in 2004.
The previous highest total for India against England was 664 at the Oval in 2007 , while the previous highest at Chepauk was 652 for seven declare by England against the home side in 1985 .
4 This was the fourth instance of a team scoring 600 or more in two consecutive innings. India scored 631 during their innings win in Mumbai in the previous Test. The other instances are Australia against England in Ashes 1946-47 , West Indies against India in 1948-49 and India against Sri Lanka in 2009
3 Instances of Moeen Ali scoring a century and conceding more than 100 in an innings in the same Test. He joined Vinoo Mankad, Gary Sobers, Greg Matthews and Daniel Vettori. 190 runs conceded by him is the third most conceded in an innings by a player after scoring a century after 212 by Paul Strang and 196 by Vinoo Mankad.
4 India registered four hundred-run partnerships in this innings, only the second time they have done it in a Test. The previous instance came against West Indies in Kanpur in 1979 . Had Jadeja and Karun put together 12 more runs, it would have been the first instance of four 150-plus stands in an innings in Tests.
6 Karun Nair became the sixth Indian player to score a century in this series, the joint most for India in a series. They had six each against New Zealand in 1955-56, against England in 1964-65 and against West Indies in 1978-79.
