- South Africa have won their last three men’s Tests against India; a fourth consecutive win in this match would be the Proteas’ outright longest winning run against India in the history of the format (also W3 from February 2000 to November 2001).
- This will be South Africa’s first men’s Test in 2024; the Proteas were the only undefeated team in the format in 2023 (W3 D1) – the last time they completed a calendar year without losing a Test was in 2012 (W5 D5).
- India have won only one of their last seven men’s Tests outside Asia (D1 L5) – an innings and 141-run victory against West Indies (July 2023).
- South Africa have lost only one of their last eight men’s Tests at Newlands in Cape Town (W6 D1) – a 189-run loss against England (January 2020); the Proteas are undefeated at the venue in Tests against India (W4 D2).
- Batters left 18% of South Africa’s balls bowled in men’s Tests in 2023, the highest rate of any team and 10 percentage points more than India (8%); in fact, only Bangladesh (7%) and Ireland (5%) had a lower rate than India in this category.
- India (77%) and South Africa (76%) had the best bowling dot ball rates of any teams in men’s Tests in 2023; although India had the best bowling economy rate of any team (2.8), whereas South Africa were ranked seventh in this category (3.3).
- Shubman Gill (994) is six away from scoring 1,000 runs for India in men’s Tests; he has scored at least 30 runs only once in his last 12 Test innings.
- Marco Jansen (48) is two away from taking 50 wickets for South Africa in men’s Tests; his Test bowling average against India (17.4) is the second best of any player (min. 3 innings) for the Proteas in the history of the format (Allan Donald – 17.3).
- Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 20.3% of India’s runs when he played in men’s Tests in 2023, the best rate of any player for their team last year (min. 5 innings).
- Ravichandran Ashwin took 39% of India’s wickets when he played in men’s Tests in 2023, the second-best rate of any player (min. 4 innings) for their team last year (Andy McBrine – 42% for Ireland).
