Wasim Akram, the cricketing maestro from Pakistan, believes that the presence of India's long tail hindered KL Rahul from adopting a more fearless approach, pinpointing it as a significant factor in India's defeat in the World Cup final. In the initial innings, India set a modest target of 240 in 50 overs, where Rahul's cautious innings of 66 off 107 balls, featuring a lone boundary, reflected the challenging circumstances imposed by the team's elongated batting lineup.
