It was yet another good start to the Indian innings thanks to Rahul and the DRS. But the real performers of the day were Pujara and Rahane as each scored a century to help India end the day with 344 on the scoreboard. Twitterati showered praises on both Pujara and Rahane for their brilliant show.
Optimistic thoughts for the Sri Lankan fans ahead of the 2nd Test. That logic though! :P
In backyard cricket we tend to allow opponents to win a game in case they don't return the next day if you thrash em too severely.

Dhawan again started off aggressively!
Shikhar Dhawan said he will continue playing a natural game.
— Suneer (@suneerchowdhary)
Hadn't specified he was going to be playing Sehwag's natural game.
DRS was the saviour and the villain today when everything was going well for India!
A review saved KL Rahul.

A review sends back Shikhar Dhawan.
Solid start for India though at 56/1 in 10.1 overs.
Even after Dhawan's wicket, Rahul kept on going! What a comeback by this man!
Only three Indians scored six consecutive 50+ scores in Test Cricket:

The worst thing that can happen to you after missing a match due to fever is a Run Out. You gotta feel for KL Rahul

Another ton for Cheteshwar 'Dependable' Pujara. Three in three games in Sri Lanka.

A 13th Test century to Cheteshwar Pujara. What a way to celebrate your 50th Test!
