Ex-India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said India batter KL Rahul's enemy isn't the bowler but his own state of mind. "He had said in an interview that [2023 World Cup final's innings] haunted and hurt him," Manjrekar added. "What I loved about Rahul's innings [in the Champions Trophy 2025 final and semifinal] was...state of mind when he was chasing," he stated.
