Yet, with those who matter in the Hyderabad Cricket Association rarely pushing his case on the bigger stage, Milind has been left to silence the critics with impressive performances. So, for Milind, the bowling all-rounder who led Hyderabad to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League phase with five wins from…
