    0 India Women's tally of wins by an innings before this one. India had asked their opposition to follow-on in their last two wins too, but had to bat again. Overall, this was India's fifth win in 36 Tests, and only their second at home.
    275 Runs added by Kamini and Poonam for the second wicket, the second-highest for any wicket after Australia's Lindsay Reeler and Denise Annetts added 309 for the third wicket against England in 1987. This was only the third 250-plus partnership in Tests and for India, it was their first 200-run partnership for any wicket, beating the 157-run stand between Goswami and Raj in Taunton in 2002.
    3 Number of consecutive Tests won by India with this victory. They are only the second team to achieve this in Women's Tests after Australia, who have performed the hat-trick on three different occasions.
