South Africa are second in group 1 after a win and a loss in the Super-10 stage of the ICC World Twenty20. West Indies are on top with four points from two wins.
South Africa's team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee explained: "The scans which were done yesterday confirmed our clinical suspicion of a hamstring strain which means that he will be ruled out of Friday's game against the West Indies in Nagpur.
"The plan is to try and get him ready for our last round-robin match against Sri Lanka in Delhi on Sunday. Our physiotherapist, Brandon Jackson, has already started with treatment and rehab and for now we will have to wait and see how he responds to the plan."
