    Hyderabad captain Chama Milind shines in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

The left-arm pacer, who also chips in with handy contributions with the bat, had a dream season in 2016-17 with 35 wickets and continues to be the lead performer along with left-arm spinner Tanay Thyagarajan for Hyderabad in bowling. 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…
