Proteas captain Temba Bavuma is going for medical scans on Tuesday on an elbow injury suffered in the fourth T20 international against India in Rajkot last Friday.
Proteas coach Mark Boucher said the Covid-19 enforced absence of Aiden Markram wreaked havoc with their India T20 series plans.
South Africa head coach Mark Boucher termed India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's performance in the series as “special” while ruing the absence of Aiden Markram, who he feels could have made a lot of difference for the Proteas over the course of the five T20Is. Bhuvneshwar, who now only plays white-ball cricket, got six wickets in four completed games and gave away only 85 runs in 14 overs at an economy rate that was just a shade above six runs per over.

"Bhuvi was special in this whole series as we came up against some quality bowling. He put us under pressure in Powerplays and barring one game (Delhi), where we got off to a good start, they have dominated us with both ball and bat in Powerplays," Boucher said after the series ended in 2-2 despite Proteas going 2-0 up at the onset.
South Africa batter Aiden Markram was on Wednesday officially ruled out of the remaining two T20I against India having already missed the first three games after testing positive for COVID-19 before the opening match in Delhi. Markram, who tested positive after first couple of practice sessions, will not be able to return to competitive arena post mandatory isolation period.

Markram, who tested positive after the first couple of practice sessions, will not be able to return to the competitive arena post mandatory isolation period. "Proteas batsman, Aiden Markram, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Proteas' tour of India. He spent seven days in quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 last week and will not be able to complete his return to play programme in time to take part in the remainder of the T20 series," a Cricket South Africa statement said.
The Proteas were dealt a blow with the news that Aiden Markram would not make a return to the team in the current T20 series against India, although Quinton de Kock could return from injury soon.
South Africa have played exceptionally well in the ongoing T20I series against India and this is the main reason, behind them standing on the cusp of registering a series victory. If the Proteas are able to win the third T20I, they will gain an unassailable 3-0 lead. So far, the Proteas have chased down totals of 212 and 149 and they have fully capitalised on winning the toss. It would be interesting to see whether Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram would be back for this game or not.
