Zaheer had suffered the injury during a match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Edens Gardens and according to team sources, he will miss the next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow.
However, with back-to-back matches and considering his age and past problems with hamstring, it is unlikely that Zaheer will be able to recover in time.
The 38-year-old seamer had missed the last game against Kings XI Punjab where Delhi were bowled out for 67.
"Zaheer will be missing the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow due to the hamstring strain that he suffered during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders but he is unlikely to make a comeback," a team source said.
Delhi are languishing at the eighth spot with only two wins in their eight games so far.
