The 24-year-old flyweight boxer from Haryana created quite a flutter after getting the better of five-time world champion Mary Kom, who was on a comeback trail after a two-year birth following the birth of her third child, in the recent trials.
"I feel a bit of pressure now. I have beaten the best in trials, now I would have to prove myself a worthy selection. That is possible only through a medal at CWG. I have to get a medal to prove myself. So, yes there will be pressure on me," Pinki told PTI in an interview.
"For the first time I have signed up with a company. They will take care of my nutritional needs, provide a physio and a mental trainer besides foreign training when required," Pinki said.
Women's boxing will be making its debut in three weight categories at the CWG, two years after the breakthrough in the London Olympics.

The other boxers who were selected in the women's squad are former World Championship silver-medallist L Sarita Devi (60kg) and Pooja Rani (75kg).
"There will be boxers from some very strong countries like England, which has world number one Nicola Adams in my category. It will be tough for me and whether I get a medal will depend a lot on what sort of a draw I get. I hope it's not too tough to start with," said Pinki.
