Former India and Mumbai batter Wasim Jaffer posted a meme roasting himself over the 26-year-old's century in his first Test. Iyer is the third successive Mumbai player after Rohit Sharma and Prithvi Shaw to score a hundred on Test debut.

"Ye troll humne khud ko kiya hai ???? #INDvNZ #Iyer," wrote Jaffer while sharing the meme. "Mumbai batsmen to sab debut me century maarte hai," says Iyer's character in the meme. To which Jaffer, as Shah Rukh Khan, replies, "Sab nahi maarte Shreyas".

India scored 345 runs in the first innings of the opening Test after winning the toss. Iyer remained the top scorer being the only one to score a ton. Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja got a half-century each.  

For New Zealand, Southee bagged a five-wicket haul, while Kyle Jamieson picked up three and Ajaz Patel two wickets.
