Kalra also became the fifth batsman after Brett Williams, Stephen Peters, Jarrad Burke, Unmukt Chand to score a century in the tournament's final.

In the first match of the tournament, Kalra scored 86 runs against Australia as he added over 100 runs for the first wicket with skipper Prithvi Shaw.

After failing to perform in a few matches, he scored 47 runs against Pakistan in the semi-final, helping India enter the final.

Just like the Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli, Kalra also hails from Delhi and was bought by the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL Auction 2018.
