New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League season with a hamstring strain, heaping fresh misery on his Gujarat Lions team.The dashing opener injured his left hamstring during the seven-wicket defeat against Delhi Daredevils on Thursday — a result that saw the Lions being knocked out of contention for the playoffs.McCullum, 35, is currently the second-highest run-getter for Lions this season with 320 runs from 11 outings.
“Injuries are not ideal but part of our sport. Compressed tournament & long travel can be gruelling,” the former Kiwi skipper posted on his official Twitter account late Friday.
“Sorry for not being there all the way.”
