In a [[Ranji Trophy]] match in [[National Sports Council of Assam Ground|Jorhat]] in January 1957, Chatterjee took all 10 wickets in [[Assam cricket team|Assam's]] first innings,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/30333773/ask-steven-which-indian-batsman-made-hundreds-five-successive-tests-century? |title=Which Indian batsman made hundreds in five successive Tests this century? |work=ESPN Cricinfo |accessdate=19 November 2020}}</ref> finishing with figures of 10 for 20.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/22/22337.html | title=Assam v Bengal in 1956/57 | accessdate=2007-05-14 | publisher=CricketArchive.}}</ref> This remains the best innings return ever achieved in first-class cricket outside the United Kingdom and the third best of all time.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/209288.html | title=Best Figures in an Innings in First-Class Cricket | access-date=28 September 2022| publisher=Cricinfo}}</ref> The previous season he had taken 7 for 50 and 8 for 59 against [[Madhya Pradesh cricket team|Madhya Pradesh]] in a semi-final of the Ranji Trophy.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ranji Trophy, 1955/56, 1st Semi Final |url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1950S/1955-56/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/BENG_MP_RJI-SEMI1_03-05MAR1956.html |website=Cricinfo |access-date=28 September 2022}}</ref>

[[Sujit Mukherjee]] described batting against him in a minor match in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]]:
<blockquote>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.<ref>Sujit Mukherjee, ''Autobiography of an Unknown Cricketer'', Ravi Dayal, Delhi, 1996, p. 84.</ref></blockquote>

Chatterjee was later a cricket commentator in Bengali during [[Test cricket|Tests]] and major Ranji Trophy matches at [[Eden Gardens]], Kolkata.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Dhole |first1=Pradip |title=Kamal Bhattacharya: Bengal's Ranji Trophy hero, iconic commentator |url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/kamal-bhattacharya-bengals-ranji-trophy-hero-iconic-commentator-454393 |website=Cricket Country |access-date=25 February 2021}}</ref>
