Early life and background

Manjot Kalra was born on 15 January 1999 in Delhi, India. Raised in a family where education was valued, he attended Lancers Convent School and Bal Bharti Public School in Rohini, Delhi. His father, Pravin Kumar, is described as a businessman and his mother is Ranjit Kaur. He has an elder brother named Hitesh.

Kalra grew up in Delhi and developed an interest in cricket from a young age. Initially he played to keep company with his elder brother, but he moved into formal cricket in Delhi, captaining the city’s under-14 side to a championship and later representing Delhi at under-16 level.

Career

Kalra established himself in age-group cricket and earned selection to India’s under-19 team. He made his U-19 debut on 31 July 2017 against England U-19 at Worcester. Wearing jersey number 9 for the U-19 side, he contributed notably during India’s youth campaigns; one of his recognized performances was a 47-run innings in the semifinal against Pakistan at the 2018 U-19 World Cup.

At the domestic level he has been associated with Delhi and with the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League setup. He is a right-handed batter whose favourite shot is the straight drive. Listed physical measurements indicate he is approximately 183 cm tall (about 6 feet) with black hair and black eyes.

Kalra is known by the nickname "Mandy." He follows Sikhism and lists hobbies that include driving, listening to music and travelling. Publicly stated sporting influences include Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers. He has also expressed a preference for the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise and named Shah Rukh Khan as a favourite actor.

Personal life

As of 2020 he was unmarried. His zodiac sign is Capricorn. Beyond his cricketing life he has been described as someone who performed well academically in school before committing more fully to the sport.

Controversies and disciplinary actions

Kalra’s age and eligibility have been the subject of dispute. In 2015 a complaint led to an FIR concerning a discrepancy over his date of birth, with differing documents cited by others. In January 2020 an order by the outgoing DDCA ombudsman resulted in a suspension from Ranji Trophy participation; the ruling related to alleged age discrepancies during his under-16 and under-19 playing days. The order included a two-year restriction from age-group cricket and a one-year suspension from Ranji Trophy competition as recorded in public reports.
