Apart from Prithvi Shaw's century, we are sure that you missed at least 8 things that happened in the match today. As the first Day in Rajkot was pretty one sided, there is a chance that you might've been bored and switched off your phones and TV. Don't worry we have got it here for you.

Achievement Unlocked!

Prithvi Shaw became the youngest player to score a 50 and a 100 on his Test debut. What a career this guy is going to have! 

The Pujara way! 

Cheteshwar Pujara found a new way to beat the heat. He brought a small water bottle along with him which slips into the pocket nicely. Smart! 

Phew! That was close! 

Prithvi Shaw's timely call saved Cheteshwar Pujara from getting out yet from yet another run-out. The reaction from the dressing room was priceless! 

Shaw's favourite Hunting ground! 

Did you know Prithvi Shaw scored a ton in his debut Ranji match and it was also in Rajkot! 

Mission: Save Test cricket!

Great initiative by BCCI! They have reserved 10% of the seats for school children! Hope these kids got inspired by what Prithvi Shaw did today!

Cameron Bancroft, was that you?

A new ball was taken in the 84th over but by the end of the over, there was a huge part of the ball which was shaved off and had to be replaced. You know who is capable of doing it!

Too hot to handle! 

After the ball was changed, Roston Chase couldn't grip the ball and we saw something rare happen! 

Catch practice for the Umpire!

Virat Kohli was seen giving catch practice for the umpire just before the beginning of the 3rd session!
