IND vs NZ | Twitter reacts as Shreyas Iyer gets to hundred on Test debut

Ravindra Jadeja was castled by Tim Southee without adding to his overnight score of 50 in the next over. That, however, didn't deter Iyer, who carried on with another three fours off Jamieson, before a brace off the same bowler with a gentle dab towards the point region got him to a maiden Test hundred.

Iyer became the 16th Indian to achieve the milestone on his Test debut, and the second from the country to do so against New Zealand, after AG Kripal Singh (Hyderabad, 1955) and Surinder Amarnath (Auckland, 1976).

Iyer was eventually dismissed by Tim Southee for 105, and India was 310/7 at the time of writing, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel at the crease.
