Image Source: IPL[/caption] Internet Desk: Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore are in big trouble ahead of their crucial Indian Premier League encounter against Gujarat Lions as their destructive batsman AB de Villiers might miss the match due to an injury. The South African power-hitter, sustained a back injury in a domestic game back home before coming to the IPL, had already missed first two matches of the cash-rich tournament. AB wrote on Twitter to confirm the news about his injury. He tweeted, "Disappointed to be missing the match tonight for RCB, due to injury. Good luck to @imVkohli and the team. Lets go @RCBTweets !!" However, he subsequently deleted the tweet. The Bangalore-based franchise are already grappling with injury to Tymal Mills and also the iffy form of Shane Watson is posing a severe headache for captain Virat Kohli and coach Daniel Vettori. AB had missed RCB's first two games this season but has hit the ground running ever since he made a comeback by scoring 89 not out, 19 and 29 in their next three. RCB, who boast of arguably the strongest batting line-up in the competition, are reeling at the bottom of the points table with just one win under their belt after five matches.
