Dhawan showed more grit. Looking back at the first day, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane probably had more technical finesse and shots to choose from, but Shikhar Dhawan showed more discipline. Among the India batsmen, Dhawan is probably under most pressure to fight for his place. Had Dhawan not held out against the temptation to hit hard, the consolidation job could have become more difficult for Virat Kohli. Dhawan got his breath back, started cutting the ball better as Pujara went about picking singles and downing the shutters when required.
