BSS, Fatullah :As saying goes that fortune favours the brave as Shikhar Dhavan dropped at 73 runs went to make Bangladesh bowlers pay heavily as he slammed unbeaten 150 to put on 239 for no loss for India when the stumps were drawn after the first day’s play in one-off Test at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium.On a perfect batting track at Fatullah, Dhawan (150 batting) and right-handed Murali Vijay (89 batting his 11th Test half-century) barely broke a sweat against the home team’s bowling resources to score at a brisk rate and lay foundation for a big total.The 29-year-old opener peppered the boundaries on both the sides with some crisp drives and hit 12 boundaries in his 71-ball stay in the first session. When rain stopped play after 23.3 overs, Dhawan was batting on 74 and Vijay on 33.Dhawan made a breezy return to India’s Test team, slamming his third fifty off 47 balls and studded it with 10 boundaries.He, of course, was extremely proved lucky after being dropped at short mid-wicket off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam. Shuvagata Hom dived to take a fairly simple catch, but the ball popped out. Dhawan was on 73.Earlier Dhawan scored his debut Test century of 187 runs against Australia in Mohali on March 2013 while his second Test century of 115 runs came against New Zealand on February 6, 2014 in Auckland.
