"I don't think there is a need to create an extra pressure on them. They should do what they want to do," said Bindra, India's first individual gold medallist.

Jitender and Akhil have advanced to the quarter-finals of 51 kg and 54 kg category respectively and are just one win away from a medal.

"I am excited by the way our boxers are proceeding and hope they will win a medal," he said.
