The news was confirmed by Gujarat Lions skipper Suresh Raina during the toss before their clash against Kings XI Punjab.

"Yes, Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of the tournament. He had been doing all the rehab but just couldn't take the heat. Would need another few weeks to get ready. We need to have a chat with the management and see who could be the replacement," Raina said during the toss.

Bravo, who suffered a hamstring injury in December during Big Bash League after which he underwent surgery, has not played a single game in this edition of the IPL.
