All I can say is that I have given my best. I have given my 120% to this franchise and will continue giving it as a player on the field. It is a great time to regroup and restructure the franchise for the next three years. I will definitely (play for RCB). For me, loyalty matters and my commitment is with this franchise till the last day I play IPL.“
