Watch: Virat Kohli apologises to fans for disappointing them

Days after Bangalore crashed out of the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL), skipper Virat Kohli today apologised to the fans by posting an emotional message on his Twitter handle.

Bangalore had a largely disappointing season where they finished sixth with 12 points. This is the second year in a row when the franchise failed to make it to the play-offs.

Ashamed of team's performance, Kohli vowed to turn things around next season.

In all the games played, included the wins, Bangalore lacked consistency and apart from Kohli and now retired AB de Villiers, no other batsmen stepped up to the occasion.  

Though the team did show some late spark in the round-robin stage, the turnaround came a little too late for them to have any chance. 

After entering the must-win situation, Bangalore won three games on the trot, against Delhi, Punjab and Hyderabad. 

But they were then outplayed by Rajasthan in their final league game and exited from the tournament.

Kohli, after the match, spoke of his disappointment with the other batsmen pointing out that they cannot put all the workload on de Villiers and expect him to come out flying every single time.

Kohli is currently sixth in this year's list of top IPL scorers after amassing 530 runs at an average of 48.18 in 14 matches. 

De Villiers stands ninth in the same list with 480 runs at an average of 53.33.
