Jintimani Kalita Biography

Left‑hand batter and right‑arm medium‑fast bowler from Assam who rose through state cricket to reach India’s U‑19 programs and was signed by Mumbai Indians

Early life and background
Jintimani Nakul Kalita was born on 25 December 2003 in Mangaldoi (sometimes written Mangaldai), Assam. She grew up in the town and attended Mangaldai Nagar Girls Higher Secondary School. Cricket entered her life through family connections: she began going to the ground to accompany her brother to training and, around the age of 12, decided to take up the sport herself.

Standing about 1.58 m (5'2"), Kalita has black hair and black eyes. She is known by the nickname Jinti and lists Jhulan Goswami and Smriti Mandhana among her favourite female cricketers, with Virat Kohli as a male cricketing inspiration.

Career
Kalita plays domestically for Assam Women. A left‑hand batter who bowls right‑arm medium fast, she came through local training at the Mangaldai Cricket Stadium before representing Assam in national competitions. She featured in the Senior Women’s T20 League in 2019 and appeared in the Women’s Senior One Day Trophy in 2021–22. In one notable performance during the One Day Trophy, she walked in with Assam struggling at 56 for four and compiled a mature 78 from 114 balls to help her side reach 214.

At the under‑19 level, Kalita was selected for India B in the U‑19 Women’s One‑Day Challenger Trophy 2021–22. Her progress continued in 2022 when she was among the top 25 under‑19 cricketers invited to a high‑performance camp at the National Cricket Academy.

She played for Dhansiri Dashers Women in the Byju’s Women’s T20 Challengers Trophy 2022, wearing jersey number 5 and earning a Player of the Match award during the competition. Kalita was also named to India A’s squad for the Quadrangular Women’s U19 T20 series in 2022, a tournament that included teams such as Sri Lanka and West Indies; India A secured a seven‑wicket victory in the event.

Kalita’s rising profile led to selection in the Women’s Premier League auction ahead of the WPL’s inaugural season. On 14 February 2023 she was bought by the Mumbai Indians franchise for Rs 10 lakh, becoming the only player from Assam to be part of the Mumbai Indians squad for WPL 2023.

Public profile
Kalita is unmarried and is the daughter of Nakul Kalita; her mother’s name is not listed in the available material. She has at least one brother, the sibling whose training trips helped spark her interest in cricket. Her zodiac sign is Capricorn and she holds Indian nationality.

Latest updates
The most recent notable milestone in Kalita’s career covered here is her signing by Mumbai Indians for the 2023 Women’s Premier League season. Prior to that, her 2022 selections to NCA’s high‑performance camp, India A’s U19 T20 squad and her Player of the Match performance in the Byju’s challengers tournament marked a steady rise through India’s junior and domestic pathways.

As she continues to develop, Kalita remains a player to watch from Assam, combining batting skill with medium‑pace bowling and experience across domestic, age‑group and franchise cricket.
