Manjot Kalra - A Lifestory

Manjot Kalra is an Indian cricketer who has primarily played as a lefthanded batsman. He gained significant recognition early in his career for his exploits in agegroup cricket, particularly his matchwinning century in the final of the 2018 Under19 Cricket World Cup. This performance propelled India to victory and brought Kalra into the national spotlight. Following his success at the Under19 level, he was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, marking his entry into professional T20 cricket. He has also represented Delhi in domestic cricket, participating in tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy. While his initial promise suggested a bright future, his career has faced some challenges, including a brief suspension from playing due to age fudging allegations. Despite these setbacks, Kalra continues to strive for consistency and aims to make a significant impact in domestic cricket to earn further opportunities at higher levels of the sport. His journey reflects the competitive nature of Indian cricket and the constant pressure on young talents to perform and maintain their place in the system.
