Now if they loose the series which is almost certain, they can give a lame excuse of having 3 key players injured. In any case India would have won this series comfortably with or without De Kock. May be ABD would have given a tough fight for us.
It can be a jusfiable reason!
Imagine India without Kohli(du plesis),Dhoni(de villiers) against any strong team(though not taking away credit of Indian spinners)

Wrist injury rules de Kock out of India series
South Africa's injury woes continued as Quinton de Kock was ruled out of the One-Day International and Twenty20 International series against India with a wrist injury. South Africa are already without the services of AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis.

De Kock picked up the injury during the second ODI at Centurion and will need at least two to four weeks to recover. No replacement has been named which means Heinrich Klaasen is likely to make his debut in the third ODI in Cape Town

"Quinton suffered an extreme blow to the left wrist while batting in the second ODI on Sunday and felt severe pain and discomfort," Mohammed Moosajee, South Africa's team manager, said on Monday (February 5).

"Further investigation revealed severe bony bruising to the area, with associated swelling around the tendon in the wrist. This type of injury will require between 2-4 weeks to heal, which subsequently rules him out of the remainder of the ODI and T20 series against India. The Cricket South Africa medical team will aim to have him ready for the Test series against Australia starting next month."

With no further participation possible during the limited-overs series against India, de Kock is now in a race against time to be fit for the first Test against Australia starting on March 1 in Durban. He has been struggling with the bat with scores of 20 and 34 in the first two ODIs, to add to his bad run in Tests.
He struggled in the preceding three-match Test series as well - scoring just 71 runs from six innings at an average of 11.83.
