India ended the first day at 239/7 as Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane scored fifties to guide them from a precarious position of 46/3 at one point. However, Twitterati were more concerned about Shikhar Dhawan, who was included ahead of Gautam Gambhir, and his failure to make use of the chance.

Gabbar is back! And so are the trolls!

Shikhar Dhawan is like the Nimbu Mirchi for Indian team - He gets out early to ensure the rest can score freely and are not distracted

Dhawan actually scored a ton with no values for 0s.

Pujara is like a food cooked by your mom. You realise it's (his) importance only when you don't have (get) it.

What about the walk back?

What does Shikhar Dhawan hv in common with Michael Jackson? They both wear gloves for no apparent reason.

Smart Rohit. Does not waste a start by not getting one.

Rohit still has 3 innings to play the next series too. Hopefully will work out best for him.
