Milkha Singh, 75, passed away in Chennai yesterday following a cardiac arrest. His four Tests were played against three different opponents &ndash; Australia (1959-60), Pakistan (1960-61) and England (1961-62) and his highest score of 35 was scored against Pakistan at Delhi.
"Milkha was a good striker of the ball and an elegant left-handed batsman. I remember him fielding at the eastern side of the Brabourne Stadium in the 1961 Test against England and getting teased by the crowd," recalled Borde, who said he didn&rsquo;t know Milkha as well as his brother Kripal Singh, his fellow national selector in the mid-1980s.
"The Singhs were a cricketing family. The two boys played for India while their father AG Ram Singh was a good cricketer and coach," said Borde from Pune.
