“This will be my last IPL as captain of RCB. I’ll continue to be an RCB player till I play my last IPL game. I thank all the RCB fans for believing in me and supporting me,” he added.
“I want to be able to be committed to the responsibilities that I am fulfiling and I felt I needed the space to be fresh, to regroup and be absolutely clear in how I want to move forward.
“It’s been a great journey of nine years, with moments of joy and frustration, happiness and sadness.”
Virat Kohli, who is the leading run scorer in the competition, has failed to lead RCB to maiden IPL title.
Virat Kohli, who has been with the Bangalore-based franchise since 2008, was named the captain in 2011.
