In his emotional note, Virat Kohli mentioned that winning and losing is the part of the game. He also vowed to get back stronger the next season while thanking everyone associated with the franchise.
“Sometimes you win, and sometimes you don’t, but the 12th Man Army, you have been fantastic, always backing us throughout our campaign. You make cricket special. The learning never stops. A big thanks to the management, support staff and all the people who are part of this amazing franchise. See you next season,” wrote Virat Kohli in his social media post.

RCB had a mixed bag of a season as they sneaked into the playoffs with some help from the rivals Mumbai Indians after finishing fourth in the points table. Meanwhile, they defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator to reach the 2nd Qualifier.
However, the Reds failed to cross the hurdle presented by Rajasthan Royals and their wait for the IPL trophy has been extended by another year.
At the same time, Virat Kohli had an underwhelming season with the bat as the right-handed batter could only manage 341 runs in 16 matches at an average of 22.73 and a strike rate of below 116.
