Who steps up if KL Rahul is ruled out due to injury?

KL Rahul walked off injured after being struck on the knee by Mukesh Kumar during DC’s net session ahead of the do-or-die clash vs Mumbai Indians

With DC set to face MI on May 21, Rahul’s availability remains uncertain, casting doubts over their top-order stability in a virtual knockout

Karun Nair is the likely replacement if Rahul is ruled out; he scored 89 (40) against MI earlier in the season but has since struggled for runs

DC won’t worry about wicketkeeping as Abishek Porel has taken over from Rahul and is expected to continue behind the stumps

Nair has managed only 64 runs in his last six innings, raising questions over his consistency despite his early impact
