Asked to bat first, Rahane and Dhawan hit 111 and 113 respectively.

The two began slowly but then switched gears to punish the rather inexperienced bowling line-up of the Sri Lankans.

"The ball was doing something in the initial few overs. We decided to wait till the 10th over to attack," Dhawan said at the innings break.

"It was great to bat with Rahane. We were both racing each other for our centuries," he said.

Rahane was the first of the two to reach the three-figure mark. He played 99 balls to reach the milestone.

Dhawan smashed his century off 95 balls.

Dhawan was the first to fall and it brought Suresh Raina to the middle.

Continuing his fine form, Raina hit 52 off 34 balls.

Skipper Virat Kohli hit 22 off 21 as India finished with a massive 363/5.

Sri Lanka could hardly come up with a strong reply when they came out to bat.

Umesh Yadav claimed the first wicket of Tillakaratne Dilshan.

Only Mahela Jayawardene managed to bat a bit and he scored 43 before falling to young spinner Akshar Patel (second from right).

It was Ishant Sharma though who wrecked Sri Lanka's batting. His figures of 4 for 34 eventually helped India bowl Sri Lanka out for 194.
