Australian speed gun Shaun Tait, who has retired from one-day international cricket, but continues to play for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, wants to see the back of Kolkata Knight Riders' demolition man Yusuf Pathan when the two teams meet here today.
"He is a hard-hitter and we will have to be careful against him," said the South Australian fast bowler, who bowled the fastest ball (157.7 kmph) against Delhi Daredevils on Tuesday.
"I have been plagued by injuries and I play only 20-20, but I yearn for pace because my game is based on it. I was up against some very good batsmen like Virender Sehwag and David Warner and knew that I could be hit, but still tried to bowl with pace and I am happy that I could escape with it," he said.
"The conditions more than the weather poses a challenge to fast bowlers in India and good performance gives you immense satisfaction," he added. Kolkata Knight Riders beat Deccan Chargers in their last game.
