India have already sealed the five-match series with an unassailable 3-0 lead after chasing 199 runs in just 13.2 overs in Wellington. The fourth T20I will take place at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday, October 30, followed by the fifth and final match in Hamilton on November 1.
Head coach Rob Walter expressed disappointment over the injury, particularly with Lockie Ferguson set to miss the home match at Eden Park.
Matthew Fisher, who was initially brought in as bowling cover for the third T20I, will remain with the squad. He was originally expected to return to New Zealand A for its second four-day match against India A. Fast bowler Brett Randell has been called up to replace him in the New Zealand A squad.

India, meanwhile, continued their dominant run in the third T20I. The visitors chased down the 199-run target in 13.2 overs, losing four wickets, after Abhishek Sharma smashed his fourth T20I century. India also set a new record with a powerplay total of 118.
