Bavuma went out of the field in the 20th over after chasing a drive from Virat Kohli off left-arm pacer Marco Jansen.

"Scans have revealed a left hamstring strain. He (Bavuma) will undergo daily medical evaluations to determine his participation in🧜 the match," said an update from Cricket South Africa (CSA).

Bavuma hobbled midway through that chase via extra cover region 🦋and soon walked off the ground ♔with the help of the South African physio.

Dean Elgarꦰ, who is retiring after this series, stood in as captain in🔯 the absence of Bavuma.

Wiaan Mulder replaced Bavuma on the field.
