'I gave everything to RCB for 18 years', says Kohli

Ahmedabad, June 3 (UNI) "I have given this team my youth, my prime. I gave it everything I have.

"I was overcome with emotion as soon as the last ball was bowled," the legendary batsman admitted, summing up the sentiment of a franchise and millions of its followers who had stayed loyal despite heartbreak after heartbreak.
