Former all-rounder, Ranji Trophy captain, chief selector, mentor…. Milind Rege, the man who wore many hats in the world of Mumbai cricket, has passed away.
Rege succumbed to a heart-related illness on Wednesday morning at a city hospital, a few days after his 76th birthday.

Rege, an off-spinning all-rounder, is a childhood friend of batting legend Sunil Gavaskar. They went to the same school and college (St Xavier’s) and often played for the same — Dadar Union Sporting Club.
