Though Anjan Bhattachary was deaf (失聪的), he earned a good name in cricket(板球). He was born on October 15, 1951, in West Bengal. When he did not speak or respond to sound, his family members were very sad.
Anjan was strong and very active. He started playing cricket at an early age. The fact that Anjan was neither able to talk nor hear did not affect(影响) his performance. Very soon he was chosen in the state team of school- children. He showed excellent performance in the matches one after another.
At the age of 13, he was chosen in the school team of the East Zone. At the age of 15, Anjan was chosen in the national(国家的) team of schoolboys. In 1966, he played two test matches with the school team of London. In 1969, he went to Lucknow to take part in the Sir Frank Warred Cricket Tournament. The 18-year-old boy had much success in this match.
Anjan was so popular that not only his teammates and club members but even the members of the opposite team admired(钦佩) him.
