3 Number of India captains to score a Test century in the West Indies. Virat Kohli became the third to do so after Kapil Dev (100*) in Port of Spain in 1982-83 and Rahul Dravid (146) in 2006. Kohli is the only Indian player to score 50-plus as a captain in his maiden Test innings in West Indies; the previous highest was 49 by Rahul Dravid. Kohli is the eighth visiting captain to score a century in his maiden Test innings in the West Indies. The last to do so was Ricky Ponting (158 in 2008).
1 Number of higher individual scores by India players on the opening day of a Test in the West Indies than Kohli's 143 not out in this match. Virender Sehwag made 180 in Gros Islet in 2006. Kohli's 143 at the end of the day is the third-highest score of his Test career thus far.
5 Number of centuries for Kohli as captain in Tests, all of which have come outside India. He drew level with Mohammad Azharuddin for most centuries by a captain for India away from home. His away average as captain is second only to Don Bradman, among those who have batted ten or more innings.
18 Number of innings in which Kohli reached 1000 runs as captain in Tests, which makes him the joint second-quickest to the milestone for India. Only Sunil Gavaskar (14 innings) got there in fewer innings than Kohli while MS Dhoni also took 18 innings. Kohli's average is the best among all India captains and fourth-best among all captains who have batted 15 or more innings. Kohli also passed 3000 runs in his Test career.

110.80 Average partnership between Dhawan and Kohli for the third wicket in Tests, which is the third highest by a pair having five or more partnerships. They have added three century stands in five innings for the third wicket. Only two other India pairs have shared more than three century partnerships for the third wicket.
1958 The last time a visiting team had 50-plus partnerships for second, third, fourth and fifth wickets of the innings in a Test in the West Indies - Pakistan in the third innings of the Bridgetown Test where they secured a draw after following on. This was only the third such instance against West Indies in the West Indies.
11.28 M Vijay's average in Tests in the West Indies - his lowest in any country. He has scored 79 runs in seven innings there with a highest of 45, and five single-digit scores.
7.89 Average opening partnership for India in the West Indies in their last nine innings. In these nine innings, they have added just 71 runs with a highest of 26. Their stands in the five innings prior to that were 61, 109, 59, 10 and 72.
