Initially, the 26-year-old right-armer was not expected to play in the tournament, having said earlier this month he was traveling to South Africa as his team's "cheerleader."
But on Sunday he said: "I hope to be playing by early May. I'm here trying to recover. But I don't want to rush it. I'm taking it easy." Making it clear he wanted to play in the IPL, he added: "It's fantastic - the crowds, good wickets, and the super competition."
The IPL finishes on May 24 with the final in Johannesburg.
