Shane Warne led from the front with a three-wicket haul as Rajasthan Royals notched up an easy eight-wicket victory over Kochi Tuskers Kerela to bring their campaign back on track in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday.
Warne's decision to bowl first was vindicated as his bowlers responded to the captain's call to skittle out the Kochi outfit for a paltry 109 in 20 overs at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium.
Shane Watson (49) and Rahul Dravid (44) then came back to set the foundation of their runchase, while Johan Botha (14) and Ross Taylor (2) finished off the game as the Royals reached 111 for two with 5.5 overs to spare.
Rajasthan's third win in seven matches snapped Kochi's three-game winning streak and also helped them to jump to the second place in the points table.
