Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League season with a left forearm injury.
Mumbai Indians confirmed Suryakumar would miss the final four games of the campaign prior to Monday's clash with Kolkata Knight Riders.
Suryakumar has enjoyed a fine season in a poor campaign for Mumbai, scoring 303 runs at an average of 43.28 - including three half-centuries.
But with bottom-of-the-table Mumbai already out of contention having won just two of their 10 games, the news is likely to be of greater concern to India ahead of next month's T20 International series with South Africa.
A brief statement on Mumbai's Twitter account read: "Suryakumar Yadav has sustained a muscle strain on his left forearm, and has been ruled out for the season.
"He has been advised rest, in consultation with the BCCI medical team."
Suryakumar has featured in 14 T20Is for India, scoring three half-centuries and averaging 39.
His 31-ball 65, which featured seven sixes, saw him named player of the series in February when India secured a 3-0 whitewash of West Indies.
India host South Africa for five T20Is next month, the series opener taking place in Delhi on June 9.
