Melbourne, March 08 (ANI): A Mumbai model has captured the heart of South Australian speedster Shaun Tait, nicknamed Wild Thing.

Tait, who is running into peak form at the World Cup, is just as content off the field after being tamed by Mashoom Singha.

The couple met almost a year ago when Tait played in the Indian Premier League and Australia’s Cup campaign in India had given the love birds a reunion.

“She’s a lovely girl, she’s pretty busy here in India but it’s great to get the chance to see each other again,” Adelaide Now quoted Tait as saying.

“We met during the IPL (last April). I was playing for Rajasthan Royals, Mashoom was doing a fashion parade at an IPL function and it’s gone from there.

“We’ve met in all different places and when she’s had time off work she’s been able to come and visit me in Australia, which has been good.”

The 27-year-old Singha is busy mixing modelling with running an events management company and said she was drawn to Tait’s humility and laidback nature.

“The thing I like about Shaun is he’s quite shy,” Singha, an avid rock-climber, said.

“He’s really modest and that really attracted me towards him.

“He’s not one of those, `Oh, I’m a cricketer’ kind of guy. He’s very down-to-earth.

“Both of us like to keep things low key. We are close to our family and friends, so it’s not so much about the limelight.

“That works for us both, we keep things quiet.”

Tait spends the next four months in India and Singha said the couple were managing the tyranny of distance well.

“Whenever I have time off, I travel and come see him, so it’s working,” she added.(ANI)
