Book review: Crosscourt by Jaidip Mukerjea - A welcome addition to Indian tennis literature
The HinduTo pen a life story at 82 must have been a life-long desire achieved late in his career but then Jaidip Mukerjea, one of India’s best-known tennis stars, does a decent job. Titled Crosscourt, co-authored by Papri Sen Sri Raman, and published by Vitasta, it is a welcome addition to India’s tennis literature. For camaraderie and performance level, our 1966 team was the best ever team to represent India,” says Ramanathan Krishnan, one of the greatest tennis players in India. Jaidip laces his life story with details of India’s rise in tennis, including time spent with Amitabh Bachchan, who spent time in Calcutta looking for a job before venturing into the film world, and playing in front of matinee idol Dilip Kumar at the Delhi Gymkhana and winning the Davis Cup tie against Germany.
