He is still refining his game with the red ball, but his performances in white-ball cricket drew attention from IPL franchises. Before his move to RCB, he had a minor role with Mumbai Indians.
His link with RCB owed something to Ashish Nehra, who had taken up the post of the franchise's bowling coach and was keen to bring the Delhi seamer on board. Khejroliya entered the auction with a base price of twenty lakh rupees, but the bidding climbed as Mumbai Indians and then Sunrisers Hyderabad competed with RCB for his signature. RCB eventually secured him for 85 lakhs, adding depth to their pace attack.
Opportunities were limited for him during the 11th edition of the league. Even so, the team management saw enough in him to keep him as part of their core group heading into the 2019 season.
