New Delhi: Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara hit contrasting centuries as India take control on the very first day of the opening Test against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium on Wednesday.

Day 1 Recap:

A 253-run stand second-wicket partnership between Dhawan and Pujara helped India post 399/3. The Delhi batsman, however, missed out his 200. He scored 190. Pujara was unbeaten on 144, and he has got Ajinkya Rahane's company. Opener Abhinav Mukund (12), skipper Virat Kohli (3) had nothing much to do.

Electing to bat on a surface which promised to be full of runs, India lost opener Mukund early, but Dhawan and Pujara kept the Lankan attack at bay with a monstrous partnership.

This is the second highest total that India have posted in a single day of a Test in their history, while it was their highest total in away Tests.

Dhawan, who was included in the Test squad in place of regular opener Murali Vijay, reminded everyone of his debut knock as he wreaked havoc on the Lankan bowlers.

For the hosts, Nuwan Pradeep was the lone wicket-taker as he scalped all three wickets.

Earlier, talented all-rounder Hardik Pandya got his Test cap.
