Stats - India hit a high at Headingley by amassing 359 for 3

359 for 3 - India's highest total on the opening day of a Test in England. Their previous best was 338 for 7 at Edgbaston in 2022.

India's 359 is also the highest opening-day total for a visiting team in England since South Africa made 362 for 4 at The Oval in 2003.

5 - Indians with a century on captaincy debut in men's Tests, including Shubman Gill. His unbeaten 127 at Headingley is the third-highest score on captaincy debut by an India batter, behind Vijay Hazare's 164* against England in 1951 and Virat Kohli's 141 against Australia in 2014.

3 - Test hundreds for Yashasvi Jaiswal away from home - 171 in Roseau in 2023, 161 in Perth in 2024, and now 101 in Leeds. All three centuries have come in his first Test in these countries. No other player has hundreds in their maiden Tests in the West Indies, Australia and England.

23 years 174 days - Jaiswal's age when he scored his hundred at Headingley. Syed Mushtaq Ali is the only younger India opener to score a Test hundred in England; he was 21 years and 221 days old when he scored 112 at Old Trafford in 1936.

402 - Number of international matches India have played between Karun Nair's previous Test appearance in 2017 and this one - the most games a player has missed between two appearances for his country. Nair missed 77 Test matches in these eight years. Only Jaydev Unadkat (118), Dinesh Karthik (87) and Parthiv Patel (83) missed more Tests between two appearances for India.

1 - B Sai Sudharsan became the first India player to bag a duck on debut while batting at No. 3 in men's Tests. Only six Indians, including Sai Sudharsan, have bagged a duck in the top three on their Test debut.

Sai Sudharsan's first-class average coming into this match was 39.93, the lowest for a specialist batter on Test debut for India since 1990. Wriddhiman Saha made his Test debut as a batter with a first-class average of 35.59, but was predominantly a wicketkeeper.
