Dhawan was on 43 off 41, when he was dismissed by Fabien Allen, ending the opening stand at 123. Rishabh Pant came in next, but couldn't stay in the middle for long, getting out for a six-ball five.

KL Rahul, batting at No.4, gave Rohit company, and ended on 26 off 14 balls.

After the innings, Shikhar Dhawan said: "We started off well, it was a true wicket, we took some time to gauge the conditions and then put the foot on scoring. Rohit played a superb innings".
