  • India have lost only two of their last seven men's Tests against South Africa (W4, D1), including a 63-run victory when they last met in the five-day format (January 2018) and a 337-run victory when they last met in India (December 2015).
  • Indeed, India are unbeaten in their last five men's Tests against South Africa at home (W4, D1); their last defeat in such a fixture coming back in February 2010 by more than an innings.
  • India are undefeated in their last seven Tests when they've batted first in the match (W6, D1), Australia the only team to stop them from winning in that span (January 2019, Sydney Cricket Ground).
  • India are undefeated in their last nine men's Test played on home soil (W6, D3), with three of their last four home wins coming by margins of more than an innings.
  • South Africa have lost their last two men's Tests heading into this series with India; the last time they lost more in succession was a three-game stretch to round out the 2015 calendar year, two of those matches coming against India.
  • South Africa have lost only one of their last seven men's Test series against India (W3, D3) and will be looking to secure back-to-back Test series wins against them for the first time since winning three on the bounce in 1996, 2000, and 2001.
  • Faf du Plessis (South Africa) got out to Ravindra Jadeja (India) four times in six innings when the Proteas last travelled to India for a Test series (2015); no bowler has ever removed him more often in this form of the game.
  • Faf du Plessis (1,926) is 74 runs shy of becoming the third South African to score 2,000 Test runs as captain, behind Graeme Smith (8,647) and Hansie Cronje (2,833).
  • Ajinkye Rahane (India) is set to record his 100th Test innings with the bat; his Test batting average of 72.3 thus far in 2019 is by far his best in a calendar year, eclipsing his figure of 54.4 in 2016.
  • Ravi Ashwin (India) took a series-high 31 wickets in the last men's Test series between India and South Africa in India (2015), his most ever in a single Test series.
