Cheteshwar Pujara criticizes Shubman Gill over declaration timing in Galle

Cheteshwar Pujara has criticized Shubman Gill for India's delayed declaration during Day 4 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. India, having set a target of 372 runs after being bowled out for 193, is in a strong position but faces potential rain interruptions on Day 5. Pujara believes a declaration should have occurred five to six overs earlier to allow for additional bowling opportunities. Currently, Sri Lanka is at 84 for 4, needing 288 runs to win, with captain Dhananjaya de Silva unbeaten on 31. Both teams are poised for a competitive conclusion as India's bowlers aim to wrap up the match before adverse weather conditions complicate their efforts.
