Adelaide: Opener David Warner (141) 10th hundred gives Australia a positive start. The host were 354/6 at stump on opening day in the first Test at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday.
David Warner paid moving tribute to Phillip Hughes in compiling a brilliant century, but Australia's joy was tempered with another injury to captain Michael Clarke on an emotional opening day of the first test against India on Tuesday.
Warner's sparkling 145 from 163 balls got the hosts off to a flying start at a sun-drenched Adelaide Oval, and though India captured a flurry of late wickets, Steven Smith added an unbeaten 72 after tea to push Australia to 354-6 at stumps.
A day that began solemnly with a slew of tributes to Hughes ended with grave concerns over the fitness of Clarke, who retired hurt on 60 with a lower back injury.
Warner's dismissal, caught in the deep after slogging debutant legspinner Karn Sharma, saw Smith and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh add another 87 runs before the latter was caught in the slips off the bowling of paceman Varun Aaron.
Nightwatchman Nathan Lyon was bowled for three by Mohammed Shami before wicketkeeper Brad Haddin was caught behind for a duck, nicking at the paceman, bringing the day to a close.
Warner's day was memorable as he took to the Indian pacemen with gusto, clubbing a four off the first ball and crunching another 18 for the day.
He raised his bat and head to the sky after reaching 50 and 63 runs, Hughes' final score for South Australia, and did so again after leaping for joy upon bringing up his century with a single.
Clarke had moved serenely to 60 in tandem with Warner before he twisted to avoid a short ball from Ishant Sharma and immediately lay down to stretch.
Minutes later he was trudging off with medical staff, casting a pall over the crowd of more than 25,000.
On a day of tributes to Hughes, the number 408 was painted on the turf in front of the Sir Donald Bradman Pavilion, recognising the batsman as the 408th player to represent Australia in a test match.
Both teams wore black armbands and Hughes was named an honorary "13th man" in Australia's squad.
Earlier, Australia have won the toss and have opted to bat.
Surprising no Ashwin and no Jadeja, Karn Sharma debut for India.
