Sachin Tendulkar is playing his 200th Test – first player to do so. The following table gives details of the first player to play each progressive milestone of 50 Tests:

Shivnarine Chanderpaul is playing his 150th Test. He becomes the 7th player to do so after Sachin Tendulkar (200), Steve Waugh (168), Ricky Ponting (168), Rahul Dravid (164), Jacques Kallis (164) and Allan Border (156).

MS Dhoni is playing his 49th Test as captain. With this he equaled Sourav Ganguly’s record of captaining India in most Tests.

This is Dhoni’s 30th Test as captain on home soil. He now holds the record of most home Tests as captain by an Indian, by going past Sunil Gavaskar’s tally of 29 Tests.

Sachin Tendulkar is playing his 11th Test at Mumbai (Wankhede). With this he equaled Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev’s record of playing most Tests at this ground.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul completed 23,000 runs in first-class cricket.

R Ashwin became the 19th Indian to bag 100 wickets in Test cricket with the dismissal of Darren Sammy. By taking just 18 Tests to accomplish this feat, Ashwin is now the quickest among Indians to get to this mark. He bettered Erapalli Prasanna’s record, who took his 100th wicket in his 20th Test.

Ashwin is the second-quickest among all spinners to reach this landmark, after Australia’s Clarrie Grimmett, who reached the 100-wicket mark in 17 Tests.

In all Test cricket Ashwin is the fifth-quickest to reach this landmark, after George Lohmann (16 Tests), and Sid Barnes, Clarrie Grimmett and Charlie Turner (18 Tests each).

Pragyan Ojha took his sixth five-wicket haul in Test cricket – his third against West Indies. Incidentally, his best figures in Test cricket (6/47) have also come against West Indies – at Wankhede in 2011-12.

West Indies’ total of 182 is their second-lowest against India in first innings of a Test match, after 167 at Chennai in 2002-03.

West Indies were 97 for two at one stage, but then lost their last 8 wickets for only 85 runs. At Kolkata also, West Indies had lost their last 8 wickets for only 96 runs in the first innings and last nine for only 67 runs in the second innings.

Murali Vijay, while on 17, completed his 5000 runs in first-class cricket.

When Sachin Tendulkar came out to bat, it was only the fourth instance for him to bat on the opening day of a Test in which India batted second. The other instances were: vs New Zealand at Bangalore in 1995-96 (made 4), vs Zimbabwe at Bulawayo in 2001 (top-scored with 74) and vs Pakistan at Karachi in 2006 (made 23).
