"He eats Mumbai cricket, he sleeps Mumbai cricket and he breathes Mumbai cricket." The description fits Milind Rege, a stalwart! A prolific allrounder and a multiple Ranji Trophy champion. Rege recovered from a heart ailment to return to lead Mumbai. After retiring early in quest of a prospering corporate career, Rege thrived as a selector. He spotted a talent as progious as his childhood friend Sunil Gavaskar in Sachin Tendulkar and convinced his selection committee seniors to pick Tendulkar in the Ranji Trophy squad. Then on, till picking the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rege has played a a crucial role in Mumbai cricket's success story. In a freewheeling chat on Kattyawarchya Gappa with Amol Karhadkar, The Hindu's sports journalist, Rege narrates his terrific tale
मुंबई क्रिकेवर बोलणारे अनेक जण भेटतील. पण १९६५ पासून तब्बल सहा दशकं मुंबई क्रिकेटमध्ये सक्रिय सहभागी असलेले मिलिंद रेगे म्हणजे मुंबई क्रिकेटचा एनसायक्लोपिडिआच आहेत. सुनील गावस्कर ते पृथ्वी शॉ- यशस्वी जयस्वाल या सर्व पिढ्यांमध्ये समान धागा असेल, तर ते मिलिंग रेगे. गावस्कर आणि रेगेंची बालपणापासून असलेली दोस्ती सर्वश्रुत आहे, परंतु रेगेंचे मुंबईसाठी खेळताना आलेले अनुभव, तारुण्यात आलेल्या हार्ट-अटॅकनंतर त्यांनी केलेला कमबॅक, या गोष्टीही तेवढ्याच रंजक आहेत. प्रथम-श्रेणी क्रिकेटमधून ऐन बहरात असताना निवृत्ती घेतल्यानंतर मुंबई क्रिकेटमधील विविध जबाबदाऱ्या - विशेषतः निवड समिती प्रमुख हि भूमिका - त्यांनी समर्थपणे सांभाळल्या आहेत. रेगे सरांशी 'द हिंदू' चे क्रीडा पत्रकार अमोल क-हाडकर यांनी मारलेल्या 'कट्ट्यावरच्या गप्पा'
