Baljit joined TNB in 2004 and helped them to three overall titles in the MHL, in 2004, 2007 and 2009. He made his senior international debut at the 2007 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.[3]
In 2008 Baljit played for Zehlendorfer Wespen in the German league with another Malaysian, Selvaraju Sandrakasi.[4] The German Division Two club gave him an invitation again in 2009 and 2010 but he was unable to accept it because of commitments with the national team.[5]
