- The hundred was Mark Waugh's fourth on Indian soil which equals the record of maximum hundreds by a visiting batsman. New Zealander Nathan Astle has also four hundreds to his credit from 16 matches.
- Mark Waugh's innings is the highest for Australia against India in all matches beating his own 126 at Mumbai Wankhede on February 27,1996 in a World Cup match.

Incidentally India's Sachin Tendulkar holds the record of highest run-aggregate in this category with 5039 runs from 133 matches.
- Badani's hundred could not earn victory for his side. This provided the 28th such instance of an Indian batsman's hundred going in vain.
