Career

Khajuria made his first-class debut for Jammu and Kashmir against Maharashtra in November 2011 at the age of 16. He batted at No. 4 in that match and scored 34 and 13. However, he could not cement his place in the team until 2014.

In the first match of 2014–15 Ranji Trophy against Mumbai, Khajuria scored 107 in the first innings, his maiden first-class century, and 78 in the second innings. Jammu and Kashmir went on to win the match by four wickets and Khajuria was awarded man of the match.[2]

In 2018, Khajuria spent time in England, playing in the Ribblesdale League based in the North-West of the country. Khajuria signed as club professional for Oswaldtwistle Immanuel Church Cricket Club, impressing with the bat and making significant contributions with the ball also. Khajuria helped the club secure its first ever league title, scoring 1502 league and cup runs. Khajuria also broke the club record for the most runs by a player for the club, when he made 229 (not out) in a league match. Khajuria stated that this time in England helped him develop his game with respect to playing in very different conditions compared to his native India.

He was the leading run-scorer for Jammu & Kashmir in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 236 runs in nine matches.[3]
