The Kolkata franchise lost to Rajasthan Royals by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, with South African pace bowler Chris Morris destroying the middle order, taking four wickets.
Ferguson won't require a surgery but will need 'a period of rest and rehabilitation' before considering any return to play later in New Zealand's home summer.
Ferguson was the player of the series in the recent T20Is against the West Indies, after taking seven wickets at a low average of eight runs.
In a rail-curtailed 16-over match, the Black Caps chased down the 176-run target with four balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Ferguson picked six wickets in five games he played and conceded runs at just 7.46 in the IPL for KKR.
As KKR gear up to face play-off rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi, the young pacer feels the margin for error in bowling is next to negligible against Virat Kohli-led batting.
The Kiwi paceman bowled Warner with a full-length delivery and Abdul Samad with a yorker respectively while conceded only two runs in the Super Over.
David Warner smashed 33-ball 47, including 17 runs in the final over, to take the SRH vs KKR match into super over.
After David Warner heroics, Lockie Ferguson bundled SRH for 2 runs in super over after taking three wickets earlier in the match to ensure KKR win.
