[3] This remains the best innings return ever achieved in first-class cricket outside the United Kingdom and the third best of all time. [4] The previous season he had taken 7 for 50 and 8 for 59 against Madhya Pradesh in a semi-final of the Ranji Trophy. [5]
Sujit Mukherjee described batting against him in a minor match in Calcutta:
The ball was by no means new when I went in,but I found it curving and dipping as if with a life of its own. Premangshu [sic] bowled round the wicket and barely at medium pace,but was apparently able to swing the ball all day on any ground in Calcutta ... three times I looked for the ball everywhere,and three times my bat was nowhere near the ball as it swung in,pitched and whisked away ... The fourth ball was of fuller length,way outside the off-stump,and I put my left leg right across and prepared to push it firmly away into the covers. I am sure I went through all the motions correctly,but again missed the ball –which,this time,did not miss my leg-stump. [6]
Chatterjee was later a cricket commentator in Bengali during Tests and major Ranji Trophy matches at Eden Gardens,Kolkata. [7]
