  • This is the first time since 2013 that India have travelled to South Africa for a Test series; they have never claimed a series win against the Proteas in South Africa before (D1 L5).
  • South Africa have only tasted defeat once in their last seven Test matches on home soil versus India (W4 D2); the Proteas haven't lost a Test in South Africa against any side since January 2016 (vs England, W8 D1 since).
  • India are currently enjoying a nine-game unbeaten run on the road in Test cricket (W7 D2); they only lost one Test overall in 2017, winning seven times and drawing on three occasions.
  • Only one batsman (Steve Smith, 1,305) scored more Test runs during 2017 than Cheteshwar Pujara; he posted 1,140 runs at an average of 67 last year.
  • India duo Umesh Yadav (99) and Mohammed Shami (95) are both closing in on 100 Test wickets for their country; 20 players have reached this milestone for India previously.
