He came from a famous cricketing family which also produced [[A. G. Ram Singh]] and his more successful brother [[A. G. Kripal Singh]].

He was a brilliant schoolboy cricketer and his exploits led to a [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut at the age of 16. He represented South Zone Schools in the interzonal [[Cooch Behar Trophy]] and scored 114 in the final against West Zone. This led to the vice captaincy of the Indian Schools that toured [[Ceylon]] that year. Milkha, who studied at [[Loyola College, Chennai]], was twice voted the best collegiate cricketer and represented university and state.

He played four [[Test cricket|Test matches]]. He made his debut in 1959–60 against the [[Australian cricket team|Australians]], toured Pakistan in 1960-61 and played one Test against [[English cricket team|England]] in 1961–62. In the Test against England, the Indian team also included [[A.G. Kripal Singh]] and [[Vaman Kumar]], the only instance when three [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]] players appeared in an Indian side. Milkha was only 19 when he played his last Test.

He scored more than 2,000 runs for Tamil Nadu in the [[Ranji Trophy]] and was the first player to score a [[century (cricket)|century]] in the [[Duleep Trophy]].
