Royal Challengers Bangalore star AB de Villiers is a doubt to face Mumbai Indians in the IPL on Tuesday.

After missing his side’s defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday with a viral fever, the South African may not recover sufficiently for the upcoming encounter.

RCB have disappointed this season and are second from bottom in the standings.

They will need to turn things around quickly to stay in contention for the playoffs and a swift De Villiers return will be crucial to their chances.

Likely line-ups

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Brendon McCullum, Mandeep Singh, Manan Vohra, Chris Woakes, Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, M Ashwin, Tim Southee

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Ishan Kishan (wk), Evin Lewis, Ben Cutting, JP Duminy, Mayank Markande, Mitchell McClenaghan
