The second day-night Test between India and Australia was the shortest Test between the two countries. A total of 1031 balls were bowled at the Adelaide Oval, which is the lowest in the Test between India and Australia. The previous lowest number was 1135 balls that were bowled in the Indore Test last year. It was the second shortest Test in Australia since 1940. Earlier, 866 balls were played between Australia and South Africa in Brisbane in 2022. It was also the shortest Test at the Adelaide Oval. The previous number was 1112 balls that were played between Australia and West Indies this year.
Australia's win-loss figure at Adelaide Oval is a perfect 100 percent. i.e., 8-0, while the figure is 12-1 in the Pink Ball Test, their only defeat came against the West Indies in Brisbane this year. India batted 486 balls in Adelaide, their fourth lowest after being bowled out twice. The minimum in the case of two all-outs is 349 balls, which came against England in the Manchester Test in 1952. The Indian team has lost a Test by 10 wickets 19 times, including this Test. Only England has lost by 10 wickets more than India 25 times, while Australia has won by 10 wickets 32 times.
Since 2018, Pat Cummins has taken five wickets in an innings 12 times; it is the joint-highest in this round. Nathan Lyon and Taijul Islam have taken five wickets in an innings 12 times since 2018, while Jasprit Bumrah has taken five wickets in an innings 11 times during this period. There have been four times when batsmen at number seven or below have scored the most runs in both of India's innings, including Nitish Kumar Reddy's score in Adelaide. The last three times it happened against England were when Chandu Borde did it at Eden Gardens in 1961, MS Dhoni in the 2011 Birmingham Test, and R Ashwin at Lord's in 2018.
Nitish Kumar is only the second Indian and eighth overall to be the top scorer in three of his first four Test innings. This is what Sunil Gavaskar did against the West Indies in 1971. Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Marsh bowled only 30 balls against India in the Adelaide Test. This is the third minimum for Australia since 1903, when the second change in bowling was made. Mark Waugh and Greg Matthews bowled only 18 balls against England in the 1911 WACA Test, while Ray Bright bowled only 24 balls in the 1981 Leeds Test.
Nathan Lyon bowled only six balls in the Adelaide Test, which is the second lowest by him in a Test match; he never bowled in the 2022 Hobart Test.
