Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan made a stunning 190 off 168 balls on the opening day of the on-going first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. 
What was the most impressive thing about the knock was that Dhawan didn't hit a single six in his hurricane innings. 
It was all proper cricket shots that the left-handed opener played against the hapless Sri Lankan bowlers.
It was because of his magnificent display of attacking batting that India managed to post a massive total of 600 in their first innings. 
Of course, Cheteshwar Pujara (153) played a fine innings too, but it was Dhawan who really sucked the life out of Sri Lankan bowlers.
So where can we rank his 190 among the great Test centuries by opening batsmen in Asia?
Over the years, some of the legends of the game have made superb hundreds on the slow tracks of Asia. 
Who will forget Virender Sehwag's 309 in Multan? 
Pakistan great Saeed Anwar made a terrific 188 against India at the Eden Gardens in 1999. 
And Sanath Jayasuriya hit an epic 340 against India in Colombo in 1997.
