In-form Anderson - two fifties in four matches -- has a fractured finger in his left-hand. He is flying back to New Zealand to recover for the tour of England in May. Anderson will also have a stint with Somerset. Mumbai Indians will play Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Thursday.
Mumbai have so far lost three frontline foreigners. Hazlewood pulled out after the World Cup. He was part of the champion Australian side. And Finch will be out of action for 12 weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in Mumbai's second match.
Anderson is the second Kiwi player to bow out of IPL with an injury. Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost quickie Adam Milne due to a heel injury.
