Before the match, Shreyas Iyer was handed his debut cap by Sunil Gavaskar and became the 303rd player to represent India in test match cricket.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shreyas Iyer, at stumps, is at a score of 75* runs off 136 balls with 7 fours &amp; 2 sixes. Iyer, with excellent stats in first-class cricket, was given his debut cap as KL Rahul was ruled out due to injury. After India lost 4 wickets at a score of 145, this Mumbai-born batter came to the crease &amp; along with Jadeja (50*) proceeded towards putting up a defendable first innings total.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shreyas Iyer completed his fifty in the 68th over. After this, Ricky Ponting displayed his pride in Iyer&#39;s debut innings. Ponting, who is the head coach of the Delhi Capitals franchise in the IPL, has spent a lot of time with Iyer training.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former Australian World Champion captain Ricky Ponting took to Twitter &amp; wrote: &#39;Having seen all the work you&#39;ve put in over the last few years, very well deserved and only the beginning for you mate.
