Record breaker ... Dhawan hit the fastest hundred by a Test debutant. Source:Fox Sports
Australia's bowling attack was destroyed again on Saturday as Shikhar Dhawan blazed his way to 185 not out, the highest score by an Indian batsman on Test debut.
3rd Test - Punjab Cricket Association Stadium
14 March 2013 - Day 3, Session 3
India 1st Innings
| M. Vijay | 83 | 181 | 10 | 2 | 45.86 |
| S. Dhawan | 185 | 168 | 33 | 2 | 110.12 |
| N. Lyon | 15 | 3 | 69 | 0 | 4.60 |
India raced to 0-283 from 58 overs at stumps on day three in reply to Australia's first innings of 408.
The day was made even more painful for Australia's Steve Smith (92) and Mitchell Starc (99), who both fell narrowly short of scoring their maiden Test hundreds.
Dhawan reached his century off 85 balls, which is a record for a debutant in all Test matches.
The Delhi-born 27-year-old smashed 33 fours and two sixes from 168 deliveries while Murali Vijay is unbeaten on 83 from 181 balls.
Dhawan's century included an amazing 21 fours.
The left-hander looked in command from the outset, after coming into the side as a replacement for dumped veteran Virender Sehwag.
Earlier, Australia relied on a lower-order fightback to produce their highest score of the series of 408 after being 7-251.
No.5 batsman Smith and No.9 Starc shared a crucial 97-run stand for Australia's eighth wicket.
The homework affair which sent shockwaves through world cricket on Monday presented Smith with the chance to play his first Test since January 2011.
The energetic 23-year-old grabbed it with both hands with a brilliant knock on a turning pitch.
Starc, also 23, was on 56 when his New South Wales teammate Smith was stumped playing a defensive prod at 8-348.
Starc and Nathan Lyon (nine not out) added 51 for the ninth wicket.
A nervous Starc was caught behind on 99 off the bowling of paceman Ishant Sharma after hitting 14 fours off 144 balls.
