India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 2nd Test: Day 1, 5 talking points

#1 Pujara and Rahane compile personal landmarks

Pujara smacked his third successive hundred against Sri Lanka

If the unbeaten 211 run stand wasn't enough, Rahane and Pujara composed fine individual hundreds to complete a terrible day on the field for the hosts. There was little leeway as two of India's best Test players struck a solid, impenetrable partnership, attacking spinners with such flamboyance and ease.

Pujara marked his 3rd consecutive hundred against Sri Lanka while Rahane made a ninth Test hundred and sixth overseas. That the middle-order batsman has more overseas hundreds than at home is an anomaly from an Indian point of view. With bigger challenges awaiting India, Rahane is a crucial member in the squad and this kind of form augers well. A tiring day 2 awaits Sri Lanka as the duo look well set for the big haul
