"I've tried my best to create a culture where youngsters could come and play expressive cricket. It's something I've tried to do with India as well.

"It's 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 I will be in RCB till the last day I play in IPL."
