Vijay Dahiya
Dahiya was one of the many wicketkeepers tried by the team towards the end of the 1990s and early 2000s. Yuvraj Singh’s debut was incidentally Dahiya’s first ODI for the Indian team as well. He effected two dismissals in his debut outing.
He had a relatively short career, representing the team in two Tests and 19 ODIs, eventually losing his place to the likes of Deep Dasgupta, Ajay Ratra and Parthiv Patel. He continued to play for the Delhi Ranji team till 2006, ending his playing career at the age of 33.
He then went on to coach the Delhi side, taking over the post in the 2007-08 season. He was also appointed the assistant coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the second season of the IPL. Due to a conflict with his KKR role and that in Delhi, he was sacked as the head coach of the Ranji side after the 2013-14 season.
