Vijay Dahiya Biography

Vijay Dahiya made his ODI debut alongside Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan, two men who would serve India for well over a decade and play crucial roles in winning the 2011 World Cup. Dahiya was nowhere as successful, but he was a capable wicketkeeper nevertheless.

While not outstanding, Dahiya was neat behind the stumps, going about his job without fuss. With bat he was gutsy, often bringing out his best under pressure. Unfortunately, his batting skills were not to put to Test in his brief Test career: he played 2 Tests, both in the same series against Zimbabwe in 2000-01, batted only once, and had to leave after facing 5 balls, for India declared the innings.

He did play a few important ODI innings, the most spectacular of which was a 39-ball 51 against Australia at Bangalore. A strike rate of 81 was acceptable in the early 2000s, especially combined with 24 victims from 19 ODIs.

At First-Class level his 3,532 runs came at 34; he also had 216 dismissals. He quit in 2006-07, and was named Delhi coach the following season. Delhi lifted the Ranji Trophy that season, under Gautam Gambhir; it was their first triumph since 1991-92.

Dahiya was also appointed assistant coach of Kolkata Knight Riders, an incident that led to his Delhi contract not being renewed after 2012-13. However, he was reappointed coach in 2014-15 despite accusations of “conflict of interest”.
