Woes of 71...

Is Virat under the pressure of not scoring a 100? 

I personally being his fan would love to see him score a big ton and end his century drought. We all know how good a player he is, but its high time that he should realise what's going wrong for him instead of denying the fact that he's struggling. Its evident that he's under pressure now after the innings defeat in Leeds. As long as the team wins no one looks at his form as an issue , but its only after such losses. A confident Pujara-Kohli pair would have converted their overnight scores into big one's on day 4. 

Not learning from mistakes?

Here's what Ollie Robinson said, " It's a simple plan to Virat, fourth and fifth stump, get it to angle away, and hope he nicks it and he did". This clearly tells how confident a new bowler like him is over the best batsman of this gen. Virat takes his net sessions very serious and everyone knows that, dont these failures from him question his preparation? Hopefully he gets out differently this test and successfully overcome the offside trap set to him .

Being his fan , what I know for sure is that he's not new to failures, for every 2014 there will be a 2018. From no 100 in t20s to hitting 4 100s in single edition of IPL. He always gave it back and he will give it back much louder this time. God knows how and when. Its all matter of that 71st century and once it comes then there will be a 72,73,74 and so on...

Assuming he'd play for another 5 years, how many international centuries will he end up with ?
