She is the only player from Assam to participate in the Women’s Premier League and has been hailed as one of the rising stars in the country's female cricketing circuit.

Kalita has previously been included in the Challengers Trophy on two occasions before eventually being drafted into the Indian Under-19 Women’s Quadrangular series that took place last year. 

Although she couldn't make it to the final team led by Shafali Verma, she was on the list of probable players for the inaugural U-19 World Cup.
