- The 19 fours by Tendulkar is the maximum fours hit by a batsman against Australia in an innings. Tendulkar bettered England's Wayne Larkins' record who hit 18 fours during his innings of 124 at Hyderabad on 19-10-1989.
- Tendulkar has now aggregated 1552 runs against Australia at an average of 50.06. He has now moved to third position among the batsmen with most runs in a career surging ahead of West Indian Richie Richardson (1498 from 51 matches).

- The second wicket partnership of 199 runs between Tendulkar and VVS Laxman is India's best for this wicket against Australia in all matches expunging the 165 run-partnership between Sunil Gavaskar and Mohammad Azharuddin at Sharjah on 05-04-1987.
- The partnership is also the third highest for second wicket for any side against Australia after the 205 run-partnership between Desmond Haynes and Viv Richards for West Indies at Melbourne on 09-12-1979 and 202 run-partnership between Graham Gooch and David Gower for England at Lord's on 03-06-1985.
