One of the most favourite captains of India's men cricket team Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a different fan base across the world. Apart from his on-field performance, the 40 years old cricketer is liked for his cool attitude while being fierce in his moves on field, especially his 'helicopter' shot. The Cricket World Cup (2011) winning captain also is famous for his hairstyles throughout his cricketing career.
Dhoni was first noticed during his debut (2004) in international cricket with his long hairs. His long and golden-streaked hair brought him a unique identity for which Pakistan's former president, Pervez Musharraf in 2006 during his tour to the neighbouring country advised him not to get a haircut while many of his fans insisted him otherwise.
Since then Dhoni, lovably called ‘Mahi’, is seen in different looks with varying hairstyles. However, the cricket legend on Friday stunned everyone with his never-seen retro look.
