It was Yousuf Pathan (IPL Finals Man of the Match) who did it for Rajasthan Royals in the final - both with the bat and with the ball. His partnership with to be man of the series Shane Watson was the most critical part of the Rajasthan Royals innings. Shane Warne did played his bit in scoring a crucial boundary and taking good singles in the last over.
