The
batter
crossed
the
mark
in
the
first
test
between
India
and
Bangladesh
on
Wednesday.

Shreyas
Iyer
came
into
bat
when

He
is
unbeaten
on

at
the

of

finished
the
day
on

for

Iyer
now
has

in

in

calendar
year,

not
feature
for

to
finish
the
year
as

Shreyas
Iyer
cementing
his
place:

Shreyas
Iyer
came
to
crease
on
Wednesday
when
India
required
a
partnership,
and
he
did
exactly
that.
Together
with
Cheteshwar
Pujara,
the
pair
added
149
runs
for
the
5th
wicket.
Iyer
played
with
utmost
control
and
showed
his
class
with
some
outstanding
hitting
in
between.
Iyer
glided
along
with
Pujara
and
played
shots
around
the
ground,
showing
immense
maturity
and
batting
prowess
to
rescue
India
from
the
early
stutters.

He
is
slowly
making
the
no.
6
spot
his
own
and
looks
destined
to
reach
loftier
heights
in
the
coming
years
or
so.
