Bumrah, whose 14-run cameo helped India get past the 325-run mark, dismissed skipper Dean Elgar before walking off the field.
He suffered the sprain while bowling the penultimate delivery of the sixth over of the Proteas innings. On the last step of his follow-up, Bumrah's right ankle twisted and he was seen in considerable pain as he got medical attention.
"Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a right ankle sprain while bowling in the first innings. The medical team is monitoring him at the moment. Shreyas Iyer is on the field as his substitute," a BCCI statement read.
