"RCB fans, thank you so much for the support throughout the season, you guys are incredible. Virat will agree to the fact that the last game with the rain, it was only a 5-over game but one of the most memorable games in my life and it wasn't even the result. Thanks to you guys," De Villiers said in a message posted by RCB's official twitter handle.
Kohli also thanked the fans for all the support and also expressed his firm belief of turning things around in the next season of IPL.
"One game left for the season. It has been disappointing for us and disappointing for all of you but as we come out and do every year, we are going to do everything next season to turn it around," Kohli said.
"This has to be a special message for you all because even after three hours of a game being washed out, you still sit in the stadium and give us the loudest cheer when we walk out to bat. That is very special. It is always going to stay special in our hearts and minds. Thank you for being the lovely fans that you are," he added.
RCB will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last encounter of this season on May 4.
