Known to be a trendsetter when it comes to hair-styles, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is ready for the Australia tour with his new look.
Flashing his trademark smile, the India captain looked formal in a clean, cropped cut, en route to Australia for the four-Test series, starting in Adelaide on December 9.
Dhoni has always made style statements with his hairstyles. When he came on to the world stage, the Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman sported long hair. It even drew praise from former Pakistan President, General Pervez Musharraf.
Dhoni was also seen in a trendy Mohawk cut during the Indian Premier League in 2013 and it got him rave reviews. Mostly seen with smart, short haircuts these days, the 33-year-old has decided to try something unique before his side’s grueling series Down Under gets under way.
Dhoni last played for India on October 17 against West Indies before being sidelined with a cracked thumb. He was ruled out for the first Test in Brisbane, which was scheduled to start on December 4. However, Phillip Hughes’ tragic death forced the match to be abandoned, allowing Dhoni enough time to start contemplating playing in the Adelaide Test from December 9.
