Shikhar Dhawan’s scintillating 190 on the opening day of the first Test
against Sri Lanka at Galle on Wednesday July 26,2017 put him at par with batting
greats like Sir Don Bradman and Virender Sehwag
Shikhar Dhawan scored 126 runs between lunch and tea session as the Indian opener
became only the third batsman after Don Bradman and Virender Sehwag in
the history of Test cricket to score 100-plus runs in a session twice.
Shikhar Dhawan had scored 106 runs between lunch and tea break during his Test debut against Australia at Mohali in 2012-13. Bradman had scored 115 and 107 runs in one session twice against England during 1930 and 1934 Tests, respectively.
Virender Sehwag too accomplished the feat twice in his glittering career. He scored 109 runs in a session against Pakistan during the 2005-06 Lahore Test.
Sehwag
repeated his act in the 2007-08 Chennai Test against South Africa,
scoring 108 runs in a session. He eventually ended up accumulating 319
in that innings.
While Bradman and Sehwag went on to score a double and triple tons in those innings, Shikhar Dhawan couldn’t emulate these batting greats in this aspect.
