Proud of the way we played: Kohli

Losing skipper Virat Kohli said that he was proud the way Bangalore played and thanked the crowd for their support.

"I am really proud of the way we played this evening. The support was great from the crowd. I feel gutted that we didn't do it for them. We were walking around to thank the crowd. Dan mentioned that scored 200 and we lost, it was just 8 runs but it matters. They capitalized"

Kohli who was the Orange Cap winner said that he was disappointed to stand on the losing side but was happy in collecting the award.

"It's a nice incentive for the way we've got about this season, but not that nice to be standing on the other side of the result."

Sunrisers successfully defended their total of 208 to clinch maiden IPL title and the Bangalore skipper acknowledged the fact that their opponents had a strong bowling attack.

"The reason why Hyderabad won was because they had a strong bowling attack. I knew I was hitting the ball well, lucky that I was able to score."

Kohli had accumulated a record 973 in one season with four centuries to his name. When asked if his record could be broken, the skipper said, "Why not? Records are meant to be broken. Someone with a better season can break this. Previous 770 odd was thought to be massive. We have to consider that I opened the batting and someone batting at No. 3 or down the order would not have had that much opportunities to score big."
