Despite emerging victorious, disappointment was palpable in Virat Kohli's face as the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain on Sunday termed the 10th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as "forgettable" and a season to "reflect on" for his side.


RCB had a horrendous IPL-10, finishing at the bottom of the eight-team competition with just seven points from 14 games.


"It's been a season to forget, a season to reflect on. We've got a great chance to look at all the things we've done wrong and refresh as a franchise," a disappointed Kohli said after defeating Delhi Daredevils by 10 runs in their last match at the Feroz Shah Kotla.

"The guys took it as an opportunity and it worked out," Kohli said.

Talking about next edition of the IPL, Kohli said: "We do have guys in the 3-5 player bracket who we want to retain if that's possible.

"They've shown the right attitude and they deserve it. It's just nice to end on a winning note."

Kohli was full of praise for his pace duo of Harshal Patel (3-43) and young Avesh Khan (1-23) for their show. "Both Harshal and Avesh played with a lot of heart. The way Avesh rushed it onto the batsmen on this pitch, something world-class bowlers couldn't do, was impressive.

"We know Harshal's skill set and he took three big wickets, it's unfortunate he couldn't play more," he added.
