On the eve of the series, Yousuf Youhana had played down his susceptibility against Irfan Pathan, but once again, Pathan was his nemesis in the first innings at Mohali. Youhana has now been dismissed by Pathan six times in 11 matches (four Tests and seven ODIs). Sourav Ganguly finally broke his run of bad luck with tosses in home Tests: he had lost four in a row before this match - two against Australia and two more against South Africa earlier this season. In all, Ganguly has called corectly just six times in 19 home Tests, while overseas he has been far luckier, winning 13 out of 26 - that's exactly 50%. Before this match, Ganguly had won 18 tosses, exactly the number of Test wins India have notched up under his captaincy. However, there isn't such a significant corelation between the toss and the result: in 11 of those 18 games, India went on to win despite losing the toss.
