“It still hurts. I mean, we tried really hard tonight (Sunday), but unfortunately just fell short. Looking at real positives in the form of Maxi this year, the partnerships we had between myself and Virat (Kohli), a 50-run partnership in probably every game, the consistency was remarkable. Siraj had a great campaign, so some really, really high positives and some areas in the game where we were consistently not great, I think,” said Faf du Plessis on Royal Challengers Bangalore YouTube channel after the team failed to qualify for the playoffs after the loss against Gujarat Titans on 20th May 2023.
