Career[edit]

Saxena made his first-class debut for Rajasthan in February 1999 against Bengal. He represented India Under-19s in an ODI match against Sri Lanka in March that year.[1] After Rajasthan got relegated to Plate division in the 2004/05 season, Saxena switched to Railways in the 2005/06 season. In 2006/07, he returned to playing for Rajasthan.

Saxena shot to limelight when he scored 143 against the defending champions Mumbai in the quarterfinals of the 2010-11 Ranji Trophy. He shared a 240-run second-wicket partnership with captain Hrishikesh Kanitkar which helped Rajasthan advance to the semifinals on first innings lead.[2] In the semifinal against Tamil Nadu, he scored 72 as the match was drawn and Rajasthan advanced to the final.[3] He had scores of 31 and 0 in the final against Baroda. Rajasthan won the trophy for the first time and Saxena finished with 566 runs from 12 innings at an average of 51.45.[4]

In the 2011-12 Ranji Trophy season, Saxena was the second highest run-getter of the tournament, only behind teammate Robin Bist. Saxena scored 897 runs from 18 innings at an average of 52.76 with two hundreds and five fifties.[5] In the semifinal against Haryana on a seamer-friendly wicket at Rohtak, Saxena top-scored for Rajasthan in both innings with 32 and 58, as Rajasthan went on to win by 64 runs.[6] In the final against Tamil Nadu, Saxena scored a career-best 257 helping his team to win the trophy for the second time in succession.[7]
