India vs Afghanistan 2018, 1st session: Talking points: Dhawan lands the first punch in style

#3 Rashid Khan gets taken apart

Dhawan gets the better of his SRH mate Rashid: Why hasn't Rashid bowled yet, echoed all over the Chinnaswamy as the Indian openers went hard right at the start. And Rashid was finally brought in after an hour. Dhawan greeted him with some exquisite boundaries. Rashid's quick arm was no mystery for Dhawan, who has seen the leggie at close quarters in the SRH dugout.

Dhawan charged Rashid, not the easiest thing to do against him given the pace at which he bowed and the spin he can extract and deposited him over the mid-off for a six. The next ball, Dhawan waited deep inside to cut the ball. One wondered whether it was Test cricket or IPL stuff.

The young leggie did try all the tricks he had up his sleeve. He beat Dhawan on a couple of times with the googlies but Dhawan was in no mood to let Rashid settle down
