After weathering the Chris Gayle storm, Sunrisers Hyderbad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 runs to lift their maiden Indian Premier League title. We bring you the best moments from the evening at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Virat Kohli and David Warner - all smiles at the start.

"Had I known [that SRH wanted to bat], we wouldn't have come out for the toss. I wanted to bowl anyway," - Virat Kohli at the toss.

For one final time this season..

Chris Gayle and David Warner just could not get enough of each other.

Virat Kohli apologising after nearly taking Warner's head off with a throw.

Yuzvendra Chahal celebrating after removing Shikhar Dhawan for 28, and breaking the 63-run first wicket partnership.

But the David Warner show continues at the other end.

Warner being congratulated by Moises Henriques after the Australian completed his 9th half-century of this IPL.

Finally, Sreenath Aravind stops the Warner juggernaut with Iqbal Abdulla taking the catch at the ropes.

Yuvraj Singh shows glimpses of his peak with an innings of 38 off 23 balls.

Ben Cutting takes SRH past 200 with some solid hitting towards the end.

The orange cap holder walks out to bat for the last time this season.

Chris Gayle was long overdue a big innings, and he chooses the perfect night for it.

Gayle completes his second half-century this season in just 25 balls.

Kohli joins in the party as well!

Momentary respite for SRH when Ben Cutting dismisses Gayle to break the 114-run opening stand.

But there was no stopping Kohli, yet, as he completes another 50.

From 140/1, RCB go to 164/5 as one by one all their stalwarts return to the pavilion.

Eventually, the Sunrisers came out on the top.
