The 7th time such an incident happened
This is the 7th such opportunity for Indian cricket team in Test history, when 3 batsmen were run out in an innings. The last such instance was introduced in the 2008-09 season when Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh were run out in the second innings against England in Mohali.
