The Mumbaikar had made way into the squad in place of Shikhar Dhawan and walked in to bat as an opener with KL Rahul.

The two brought in the partnership of 206 runs for the side, with Shaw scoring a 134 and Pujara putting up 86 runs on the board.
Shaw's 100 came from 99 balls, the 18-year-old shattered several records and lived up to the expectations of the selectors and the captain.
Prithvi Shaw became the youngest and the first Indian teenager to face the first ball of a Test. Shaw became the 15th Indian batsman to score a 100 in debut.
The Mumbai batsman who is 18 years and 329 days old became the second youngest to be the opener for India on Test debut. Vijay Mehra was the youngest test opener India had. Mehra was 17 years and 265 days.
