    What's the story

    India scripted an emphatic turnaround on Day 5 of the third Test against Australia at the SCG.

    Hanuma Vihari (23*) and Ravichandran Ashwin (39*) remained unbeaten as the visitors managed to draw the Test eventually.

    Earlier, Rishabh Pant (97) and Cheteshwar Pujara (77) brought India back in the hunt, while chasing 407.

    We take a look at the interesting stats of this match.

    Ashwin, Vihari

    A historic stand by Vihari and Ashwin

    After Pant and Pujara departed, the likes of Vihari and Ashwin took the mantle, staying till end.

    The duo shared a 62-run stand, that lasted over three hours.

    Interestingly, Vihari and Ashwin faced 256 balls in their unbeaten partnership, the most by an Indian sixth-wicket pair Down Under.

    Their historic stand comprised of 11 fours, 2 doubles and 14 singles.

    India

    Team India scripts history

    India batted 131 overs and scored 334/5 in the fourth innings before the game ended in a draw.

    This is the most number of overs India have batted in the fourth innings of a Test since 1980 (vs Pakistan, Delhi).

    The last team that batted out 100+ overs (4th innings) to save a Test Down Under was South Africa in Adelaide (148 overs, 2012/13).

    Information

    India script several 4th-innings records

    This was the eighth time that India batted out 100+ overs in the 4th innings to save a Test. They have played out their joint-fourth-most overs after 150.5 vs Eng (1979), 136.0 vs WI (1948/49), 132.0 vs WI (1958/59), 131.0 vs Pak (1979/80).

    Ashwin

    Ashwin remained resilient throughout the innings

    Considering Ravindra Jadeja's injury, Ashwin came out to bat at number five during the run-chase.

    He remained resilient throughout the innings, having projected a sturdy technique.

    He ended up scoring 39 (128), the fifth-most balls played by a number seven batsman for India in the 4th innings.

    The other four are Dhoni (159), Pant (146), Mongia (135) and Kirmani (133).

    Pant

    Highest fourth-innings score by an Indian wicket-keeper (drawn Test)

    Pant's 97 off 118 balls on the final day was a knock to remember for ages.

    Although he couldn't complete what could have been a historic hundred, he certainly helped India make a turnaround.

    Notably, this has become the highest fourth-innings (individual) score by an Indian wicket-keeper in a drawn Test.

    He is followed by Dhoni (76*) on the tally.

    Record

    Another record scripted by Pant

    Pant now has the most consecutive 25+ scores (10) by a visiting batsman Down Under.

    In the first innings, he eclipsed the record of Viv Richards, Wally Hammond and Rusi Surti.

    His Test scores in Australia read as - 25, 28, 36, 30, 39, 33, 159*, 29, 36 and 97.
