The South African tweeted about his injury on Thursday.

The 31-year-old is his franchise's second highest run-getter with 206 runs in six games. He has also scored two 50s in the competition but both came in a losing cause.

This is the second injury jolt that Pune have faced. A few days back, England batsman Kevin Pietersen was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
