Pujara urges brave declaration as India chase WTC final spot

A famous former cricket player named Cheteshwar Pujara gave advice to the Indian cricket team.

He said India should be brave about when they stop batting in the big test match in Galle.

This match is against Sri Lanka.

India really wants to play in the World Test Championship final next year.

To get there, India must win at least six or seven of their next nine matches.

That means they cannot afford to lose or draw this match.

Some playing time was already lost in the first three days of the match.

So the team needs to use every moment wisely.

Pujara thinks a bold decision about the declaration could help India win.

Winning this match would keep India's dream of reaching the final alive.
