Proud of you guys, it's been an amazing journey: Kohli before signing off from IPL 13

Abu Dhabi [UAE], November 7 : Despite starting the season on a good note and finishing fourth in the points table, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had to end their campaign in Eliminator on Friday.
After the defeat, RCB skipper Virat Kohli, while being emotional, highlighted the positives that his team could take from the tournament and spoke about the good memories that he will cherish.
"We spoke of creating memories as a team and I think we have done that a lot this season. And when we said this is probably the best environment we had played in for RCB, I damn right about it," said skipper Kohli in a video posted on RCB's Twitter
"It's been an amazing time together, came in just three weeks before the tournament started got to know to spend a lot of time together. Got to know each other very well. And I think the camaraderie is something that has pushed us deep and far into the tournament. Something which we can be proud of," he added.
