That De Villiers is injured was confirmed by Cricket South Africa's official website. "About to get underway in Centurion. The big team news from either team is that AB de Villiers misses out due to a back injury," cricket South Africa's official twitter handle @Official CSA tweeted.

The official tweet read:

The extent of De Villiers' injury has not been confirmed by either the player or the cricket board.

It may well be the case that De Villiers is preserving himself for the million dollar league and didn't risk himself by appearing for the Titans in the final against Warriors played at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
