Did India delay in declaration? Cheteshwar Pujara slams Shubman Gill for delaying declaration on Day 4 in Galle
While India looks poised to win the 1st Test at Galle with just six wickets needed, a former Indian batter slammed Shubman Gill for not declaring earlier and for waiting to get all out.
Cheteshwar Pujara has criticised Shubman Gill for delaying the declaration on Day 4 in Galle, indicating that India should have declared five to six overs earlier. India were bowled out for 193 runs, setting Sri Lanka a target of 372 runs. Rain is predicted for Day 5, which could result in valuable overs being lost for India. Pujara believes that India left themselves with not enough time to finish the game if the weather intervenes. India ended Day 4 in Galle with 84 for 4 and still needing 288 more runs to win.
