What's the story

Shikhar Dhawan became the first Indian to score a ton before lunch on Day 1. His partnership with fellow centurion Murali Vijay helped India end the day at 347/6. Afghanistan struck back, in the third session, to give a good account of themselves. Twitterati enjoyed the day as Shikhar Dhawan ruled the charts. Afghans were lauded as well. Here are the best Twitter reactions.

Afghanistan have lethal bowlers

The last hour and a half has made this a genuinely engrossing first day's play. Excellent hundreds from Dhawan and Vijay but enough indication that this will become a good Afghanistan bowling unit.

Kaif lauds the effort by Dhawan

Brilliant innings from Shikhar Dhawan. 100 before lunch is a top effort. Rashid and Mujeeb just hurrying through the overs and bowling all over the place #INDvAFG

Another reason to remember this match

First time a Test is played in the month of June in India.

Now May and July are the months when no Test has been played in India. #IndvAfg
