"Not the result we wanted but I am so proud of the character shown by the boys throughout the tournament. A disappointing end but we can hold our heads high. Thank you to all the fans, management & the support staff for your constant support," Kohli posted on Twitter.
Kohli, who had been leading RCB from the middle of the 2012 season, was looking to win the tournament for the first time as a player and captain. He came within touching distance in 2016, when he re-wrote the record books by scoring 973 runs in the tournament and single-handedly took his team to the final. But it was not to be as his team lost to SunRisers Hyderabad then.
