With his third Test century, the left-handed batsman shaped India’s first innings at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah after Test captain Virat Kohli elected to bat under overcast conditions in Bangladesh.
Dominating the proceedings he had taken India past the three-figure mark with a composed Vijay before rain forced a slightly early end to the first session.
The relentless showers continued through the afternoon washing out the second session but with the rain letting up, play could eventually resume later for the final session of the day.
While rain had let up, Vijay and Dhawan had not. Coming out to the middle after an extended break of about four hours they steered the Indian innings forward from where they had left.
Batting with ease, the openers kept India in command as they inched towards their individual milestones in the innings.
The bowlers were at sea as the opening pair found the gaps and picked singles with ease and dealt in boundaries as they consolidated and controlled the innings.
Vijay edged Mohammad Shahid through the slip cordon to reach his fifty with a boundary while his partner closed in on the three-figure mark. Dhawan, who had been dealing in boundaries, brought up his century with a four to square-leg.
