Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Unlike many other run machines of his era, Majid wasn't a slow scorer by any means and batted with an extremely positive intent. He loved to take the bowling on, creating pressure on the opposition in a jiffy. Majid's favorite shots were the crispy drives and powerful hook/pull strokes which he unfurled on demand when on song. Unfortunately for Majid, he couldn't score a century after the three-figure knock at home against Australia in 1980. Over the next three years, his form dipped in a big way and that eventually led to his exclusion from the side. It was at a time when his cousin Imran Khan had taken up the reins of captaincy and this event did stir the pot a bit between the two. After retirement, Majid spent a considerable amount of time in administration.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
All grace and fluency, Majid Khan played in the spirit of an English amateur
of a bygone era. He had a distant air which sometimes gave the impression that he wasn't really trying. Majid was a Cambridge Blue and he followed his father Jahangir Khan into Test cricket, though he never matched his father's feat of hitting a sparrow in flight at Lord's. He started his career as a pace bowler, but a back injury and doubts over the legitimacy of his bouncer turned him into an occasional offspinner. His batting prowess quickly moved him up the order, and he eventually formed one half of a highly successful opening partnership with Sadiq Mohammad. Majestic driving and hooking were his hallmarks, and he could score effortlessly at speed. His career ended on a sad note when his cousin Imran Khan was forced to drop him, which soured their relationship. He was a no-nonsense administrator, but he signed off by fanning match-fixing claims over the 1999 World Cup.
