Australian pacer Shaun Tait was an integral part of his nation's World Cup winning squad of 2007. Tait was the 2nd highest wicket-taker of the 2007 World Cup with 23 wickets to his name. Though he had an economy rate of 5.52, his bowling average of 20.30 helped in nullifying the extra runs.

Talking about Tait's career in IPL, the fast bowler donned the Rajasthan Royals jersey in 5 consecutive IPL seasons from 2009-13. He was released by the Jaipur franchise in 2014 before he went unsold in the 2014 and 2015 IPL auctions. Kolkata Knight Riders picked him in 2016 but Shaun could not contribute much to the team's cause.

Both Rajasthan and Kolkata failed to win an IPL trophy when Tait was a part of their squads as the 2007 ICC World Cup winner could not prove himself as a match-winner in the toughest T20 tournament of the world.
