-   Anil Kumble (6-131) claimed six wickets in an innings for the 16th time in his career. He now shares the world record of most 6-wicket innings hauls with New Zealand's Richard Hadlee.

-   Interestingly it was the 12th time that Kumble was taking six wickets in an innings in a home Test -- most for any bowler. Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan comes second with 10 such instances.

-   Kumble also became first Indian bowler to take three six-wicket innings hauls against South Africa moving ahead of Javagal Srinath who has done so twice.

-   Kumble has now taken 60 wickets in the calendar year 2004. He becomes only the third Indian after Kapil Dev and Harbhajan Singh to take 60 wickets in a calendar year. Both Kapil and Harbhajan have performed this feat twice.

 

-   Kumble has now taken his career tally of wickets to 430. He is now only five short of surpassing Kapil Dev's wicket-aggregate of 434 wickets to become the highest wicket-taker for India.

-   South Africa's total of 510 for 9 decl. is their highest total against India in India surpassing the 479 at Bangalore in 1999-00.

-   The above total is also the second highest for a visiting side at Green Park, Kanpur after England's 559 for 8 decl. in 1963-64.

-   The unbroken 185 run-partnership between Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir is the third highest for the opening wicket for India since Sunil Gavaskar's retirement from Test cricket. Overall this partnership is now the tenth highest for India for the opening wicket against all countries.

-   The Sehwag-Gambhir partnership is the highest opening partnership for India and 12th highest in all Tests against South Africa. The previous highest opening stand for India was a paltry 90 between Vikram Rathore and Nayan Mongia at Johnnesburg in 1996-97

-   The above partnership is also the best ever opening partnership at Kanpur, surpassing the 162 between Devang Gandhi and Sadagoppan Ramesh for India against New Zealand in 1999-00.
