Jamieson to Iyer, two runs, Century for Shreyas Iyer on debut!! 16th Indian to do so!! Excellent innings by the youngster on his maiden Test innings. He has a lot to do now and if he score big then definitely the team management will be forced to think about his spot in the XI when they tour South Africa next month.
