Mumbai Indians batsman Aaron Finch is likely to miss the rest of the Indian Premier League after suffering a hamstring injury during the match against Rajasthan Royals.

"Looks like I'll be out of the rest of @IPL at this stage! The scan showed a bit of damage, absolutely shattered!" Finch tweeted on Wednesday.

The Australian opener sustained an injury during the IPL match at Ahmedabad and was forced to retire on 10.

Mumbai Indians eventually lost the match by seven wickets for their second straight defeat in the tournament.

Finch had scored 5 and 8 in the first two matches.
