Vijay Dahiya pronunciation (help·info) (born 10 May 1973 in Delhi) is a former Indian wicketkeeper and current coach of Delhi cricket team.
First class career[]
Dahiya was a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who started playing First-class cricket for Delhi in 1993/94. He made his international debut during the 2000/01 series against Zimbabwe.
Dahiya was also a part of the North Zone cricket team which won the Duleep and Deodhar Trophies during the 1999/00 season. In 2009, Dahiya was appointed as the assistant coach of Kolkata Knight Riders, the Kolkata-based franchise cricket team of the Indian Premier League.
Dahiya made his first-class debut against Punjab at Ludhiana in the 1993/94 season. He was an integral part of the North Zone team which lifted the Duleep and Deodhar Trophies in 1999-2000, and also captained Delhi for some time. Dahiya retired from all forms of cricket after playing his last match against Uttar Pradesh in December 2006.[1] Just before retirement, he began his Ranji season with a fine 102, his highest first-class score, against Tamil Nadu that bailed Delhi out of trouble, and effected a stumping against Uttar Pradesh's Praveen Kumar that helped his side gain a vital first-innings lead.
International career[]
Dahiya's international debut was in an ODI against Kenya at Nairobi Gymkhana in October 2000 in the ICC Knockout Trophy. His contribution in that match which India eventually won was a catch. He went on to play in total 19 ODI's for India.
The last of which was against Australia at Fatorda Stadium in the 2001 series. Dahiya's highest ODI score was a knock of 51 runs maintaining a strike rate above par against Australia in the 1st ODI at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium which helped set up a match winning total of 315.
Dahiya made his Test debut against Zimbabwe at his home ground Feroz Shah Kotla in November 2000 as the match ended in a draw. He played only one more Test match against the same opponent at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. In the second match, Dahiya took 6 catches and scored an unbeaten 92 runs in an innings.[1]
Coaching career[]
He was named Delhi coach in 2007/08 season and was sacked 2013/14 season due his Kolkata Knight Riders commitments. During this period he led them to a Ranji Trophy triumph in 2007-08 season to end a 16-year title drought. He was appointed the assistant coach of the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in 2009.[2]
In September 2014, he was re-appointed as the head coach of the Delhi's Ranji Trophy side for 2014/15 season.[3]
In December 2019, he was appointed as head talent scout of the IPL franchise Delhi Capitals .
