Prior to IPL 2025, he plied his trade with Punjab Kings (PBKS) for two years and showed glimpses of his brilliance. In nine games for the Punjab outfit, Taide amassed 247 runs, including two fifties.
He looked in good touch in the last domestic season too where was a consistent performer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (domestic T20 tournament) with 189 runs from six innings at a strike rate of 142. In the Ranji Trophy too, he picked up 331 runs in eight matches, including a century and a fifty.
