Famous Indian Batsmen who scored a century in their Debut Test Innings

#2 Shikhar Dhawan

The third Test of the four-match Border-Gavaskar trophy between India and Australia was being played at Mohali. The first day of the game was washed out due to rain. Australia posted a total of 402 at lunch on Day 3, having a strong hold on the proceedings of the game.

Being 0-2 down, it seemed that the Kangaroos would get their first win of the series. However, Shikhar Dhawan had other ideas. The talented southpaw feasted on the Australian bowling attack, with his pristine cover drives being a watchful sight. He launched an all-out attack on the opposition.

'Gabbar' brought up his hundred in 85 balls, scoring the fastest century on debut. He continued his onslaught throughout the third day, and he was dismissed in the early proceedings of Day 4.

Dhawan's heroics enabled India to take an unassailable lead in the series, going 3-0 up with a game left. He bagged the Man of the Match honours for his crucial 187.
