Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha said on Wednesday he doesn't want to be under pressure and added that he is looking forward to perform well in the third Test against Sri Lanka at Colombo.
"There is a little bit of pressure because I have got this chance after a very long time. But I am not thinking about it. I have waited very long and I am just looking to enjoy my game and enjoy this moment," Ojha told the media here.
"Absolutely, it felt really good. I am preparing well, and last month we played against Australia-A. So, we are into good shape and fingers crossed, I will perform well," he added.
32-year-old Ojha has replaced Wriddhiman Saha, who was ruled out from the squad after suffering hamstring injury.
The two sides will now lock horns in the series decider, which starts from August 28.
