Dhawan also gets off the mark with a boundary as he hits a full toss through the covers for a four with Chameera erring with his length.
He inside edges the third ball for a single on the leg side and Shaw clips the next for three runs through square leg, followed by a single to the former.
Shaw continues his assault, with Udana getting hit for three fours in a row in his second over.
Udana bowls a full delivery in the slot as Shaw drills it through the covers for a wonderful boundary and then opens the face of the bat to get the next past point for the same result.
Udana drops short and wide as Shaw hammers it through the covers to make it a hat-trick of fours.
He again goes after a wide delivery but can't get it in the gap but does well to steal a quick run off the last ball, to retain strike.
Chameera also makes the mistake of giving Shaw width as he hits it through his favoured cover region for a four. He tries the bouncer as Shaw is happy to duck under it before he punches the fifth ball through the covers for another four as India race past 50, in the fifth over.
The last ball is again a bouncer as Shaw ducks under it but is hit on the back of the helmet but the ball goes fine for four leg byes.
The physio comes out to conduct some concussion tests on Shaw, who has smashed his way to 43 from 23 balls.
