Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer batted superbly once again under pressure to add a half-century score to his impressive debut ton at the Green Park in Kanpur on Sunday.

In the process, the youngster achieved an incredible feat in Indian cricket. Iyer scored 65 off 125 against New Zealand in India's second innings of the opening Test. 

With his knock on Sunday, Iyer became the first Indians batsman to score a century on debut and follow it with a half-century in the second innings of the same Test. Iyer's tally of 170 in the Kanpur game is now the third-highest score by an Indian on debut after Shikhar Dhawan's 187 (against Australia in 2013) and Rohit Sharma's 177 (against West Indies in 2013).

The record, but more so his knock, left cricket fans on Twitter mighty impressed as they hailed the ‘lone warrior’.
