"We are not under pressure as a team. The media is putting pressure on him. Let him score his hundred and he will do that at some point of time. He is pretty good at doing that (scoring centuries). Let him score the hundred without pressure," Dhoni told reporters.
Dhoni said expectations from Tendulkar are as high as "Everest" and that the batting maestro was very much aware of it. If you are talking about the gentleman, expectations from him by the people have been as high as (Mount) Everest.
"Since his second year in international cricket he has been the star. When he scores 50, people say he had not scored runs and it has been like that each and every match," Dhoni said. "What we have seen is that any individual, when he reaches a milestone, he may take a little bit longer time than usual. But I think it's around the corner. We have to wait and see," he added.
