The former India captain appears to be under pressure as he has not scored a ton in close to three years.

After the dismissal of England opener Alex Lees in the second innings on the fourth day of the fifth Test, which India lost by seven wickets, Kohli could be seen celebrating animatedly in the middle of the pitch. Journalist George Dobell shared an image of the incident and wrote: "An interesting place to celebrate the wicket of Alex Lees… Pic credit: @dudleyplatypus"
