At the same time, Indian opener KL Rahul completed 3,000 runs in his Test career by scoring 26 runs in this match. He has become the 26th batsman from India to achieve this feat.
On the other hand, Australian bowler Mitchell Starc has become the 8th player to take 50 Test wickets against India. He took 2 wickets for 14 runs in the first innings.
