Gujarat Titans appoint Vijay Dahiya as assistant coach

Gujarat Titans have appointed former India wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Dahiya as an assistant coach ahead of the Indian Premier League 2026 season.

Dahiya, who played two Tests and 19 ODIs for India, brings considerable coaching experience. He was part of the coaching staff that guided Delhi to the Ranji Trophy title in the 2007-08 season. In the IPL, he served as an assistant coach at the Kolkata Knight Riders and played a role in their championship wins in 2012 and 2014.

In 2019, Dahiya was appointed as the head talent scout of the Delhi Capitals. He later moved to the Lucknow Super Giants as assistant coach. His appointment by the Titans follows the franchise's recent hiring of former Australia opener Matthew Hayden as batting coach.

Since joining the IPL in 2022, Gujarat Titans have established themselves as a consistent side. They won the title in their debut season and have reached the playoffs in three of their first four campaigns.
