Rohit Sharma scored 105 against the visiting Australians, while Virat Kohli too raised his stake with an identical ton as Board President’s XI finished day one of the warm-up match at a respectable 371 for six wickets on Thursday.
Losing three quick wickets in the morning session put the local favourites in a spot of bother but Rohit forged a 61-run stand with his skipper Yuvraj Singh (29) to stem the rot before plundering another 146 with Kohli to wrest the opening day honour.
Parthiv Patel (49 batting) also made hay and was one run away from his half-century while Irfan Pathan was batting at 17 when stumps were drawn.
The visitors were at full strength sans all-rounder Shane Watson who had been laid low by viral fever.
