The city of Bengaluru accorded a grand welcome to RCB players upon their arrival on Wednesday afternoon. A sea of fans flocked to the streets to catch a glimpse of the winning team.

RCB star batter Virat Kohli's wife and actor Anushka Sharma took to Instagram to show how people in Bengaluru welcomed them with smiles and nonstop claps.

In the clip, Kohli beams joyfully upon seeing the huge crowd. He holds the trophy close as the team makes its way to the event venue in a bus.

"Namma Bengaluru current scenes," Anushka captioned the post.

In another video, Anushka turned the camera towards the road, where hundreds of people can be seen standing on the road to welcome the winners.

In her post, she expressed her gratitude to the fans for their support for the team.

Last night, Kohli became emotional after the final delivery confirmed RCB's victory against Punjab Kings. With tears in his eyes, he ran straight to the boundary ropes to embrace Anushka.

Anushka lovingly consoled her husband. She gave him a peck on his cheek. Virat also planted a sweet kiss on her forehead.
