Virat Kohli’s last match as captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) ended with a heartbreak as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lost the IPL 2021 Eliminator by four wickets to Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah on Monday. A day after their exit from the tournament, RCB took to Twitter to post a video, in which Virat Kohli begins his journey as captain of the franchise and the prolific run-scorer said he has no complaints. But only thanks to the team.
“It is an emotional moment for me as I have led this franchise for so long. I have tried my best to help the team win and get us the title. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. But I don’t have any complaints. Well, I am only grateful for the opportunity RCB has given me and I am glad that I was able to give everything that I had.”

“Those important matches that you win, especially at home in Bengaluru were the most amazing and they are something that is very special as a captain when you see the team moving things forward,” Kohli said.
