"It is a special feeling, firstly making my Test debut and scoring a 100 at this fantastic venue (Eden Gardens in Kolkata). I am really happy.
Yesterday, they told me that I am in the team 99 per cent. So I had an evening to really think it over, and visualise what I wanted to achieve out of it," Petersen, who was dismissed at exactly 100, said after the opening day's play Sunday.
After a dramatic collapse in the final session of day one, South Africa might be struggling at 266 for nine but Petersen hoped that the Proteas would bounce back and their seamers will get some help from the track.
"We will definitely bounce back. We saw (Ishant) Sharma bowling a decent spell of short balls, and that was after 40 overs. The ball was still carrying through. So I would like to see our fast bowlers on that track," he said.
