Knocked-out of contention, Royal Challengers Bangalore would look to salvage pride by winning the remaining IPl matches and end the season on a high, star RCB batsman AB de Villiers said on Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, this year we haven't played as well as we wanted to but I think there are some valuable lessons we have learnt throughout the season. I think we have let ourselves down a little bit in the last few games not competing as well as we want to," the South African said. "(On Monday) I thought we were right in the game. It was a really good game of cricket. In the last few balls, I was very nervous. I was hoping we could somehow find a way to pull it through but it wasn't meant to be. We have a few more games left and hopefully will finish the season with dignity," he added.
