Manjot Kalra hails from the same North Delhi academy as Unmukt Chand and in his early days wasn't keen on considering cricket as a full-time career option.

Manjot Kalra's claim to fame is his match-winning 101* against Australia in the 2018 ICC U19 World Cup final in New Zealand, an effort that gave India its record fourth title win. He was bought by Delhi Daredevils for a price of Rs. 20 lakh.
