The Gujarat Titans (GT) coaching staff for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) season has been bolstered by the addition of former India cricketer Vijay Dahiya. The development comes just days after the franchise roped in former Australian opener Matthew Hayden in the role of a batting coach.
Vijay Dahiya now joins the Gujarat Titans coaching staff as an assistant coach, after serving in a similar role with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) till last season. The ex-India wicketkeeper will work alongside head coach Ashish Nehra, Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki, and wicketkeeping coach Parthiv Patel and batting coach Matthew Hayden.
Prior to LSG, Vijay Dahiya has worked with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the capacity of head talent scout. He was also part of the coaching team that guided the Delhi side to the Ranji Trophy title in the 2007-08 season.
As a player, the former India wicketkeeper-batter has featured in 19 ODIs for India, scoring 216 runs at 16.61 average with a highest score of 51 and has taken 19 catches and effected 5 stumpings with his gloves behind the stumps. In red-ball cricket, he played two Tests and took six catches.
