McCullum suffered a hamstring strain during Gujarat Lions' seven-wicket loss against Delhi Daredevils.

Brendon McCullum has been ruled out of the rest of IPL 2017 due to a hamstring strain. McCullum suffered the injury during the match against Delhi Daredevils on Thursday (May 4).

Gujarat Lions have been knocked out of IPL 2017 already, but they still have three more games to play in this season. No replacement has been named for McCullum yet.

Gujarat Lions are left with only four overseas players - Dwayne Smith, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch and Chirag Suri - in the squad after the injury to McCullum. They have already lost Dwayne Bravo and Andrew Tye to injuries while Jason Roy left the squad to play for England against Ireland.

McCullum scored 319 runs in 11 games for Gujarat Lions this season, at a strike-rate of 147.

Meanwhile, Nathu Singh too was ruled out of the ongoing IPL due to back spasms. The fast bowler from Rajasthan played only two matches and took one wicket in the tournament.

"While McCullum endured a strain in his left hamstring during fielding against Delhi Daredevils on May 4, Nathu suffered back spasms during the Lions' home game in Rajkot against Kings XI Punjab.

"Nathu hasn't played a match since then," the IPL franchise said in a statement.
