New Delhi: Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has revealed that the star batter is not ‘under pressure’ to hit his long-awaited 71st century, adding that he never goes after records and contributing to India’s win is important for him rather than worrying about the personal milestone. The 33-year-old Kohli has gone more than 100 innings in all forms of cricket including IPL without scoring a hundred since hitting 136 in Kolkata against Bangladesh in November 2019. He has often got starts but he hasn’t been able to convert them into big scores. He has even passed fifty several times since that innings in Kolkata but hasn’t managed to hit his 71st international century yet. “No, he is not at all under pressure.
