Former international cricket star Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020, is once again making headlines, this time for his striking new look. Dhoni, known for his ever-changing hairstyles over the years, has unveiled a distinctive hairstyle for a recent advertisement campaign, catching the eye of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
In the advertisement image that has been circulating on social media, the 42-year-old Dhoni can be seen sporting long, flowing hair, reminiscent of his iconic look from the 2007 T20 World Cup when he was 26 years old. Back then, his long hair had become a symbol of his fearless and youthful approach to the game, capturing the imagination of cricket fans around the world. Dhoni had embraced this unconventional look during the T20 World Cup, and it had become a defining element of his image.
However, as time passed, Dhoni transformed his appearance multiple times. He experimented with various hairstyles, including a short-cropped military-style cut during his Indian Premier League (IPL) days, and even donned a salt-and-pepper beard for a period. His ever-evolving style often mirrored his changing roles and responsibilities in the world of cricket.
Interestingly, Dhoni's latest hairstyle seems to be a tribute to his past self, particularly his long hair days during the T20 World Cup victory. This unique transformation has sparked curiosity among fans about whether Dhoni is hinting at a comeback or simply enjoying a bit of nostalgia.
Behind this distinctive hairstyle lies the influence of his devoted fan, the hairstylist Alim Hakim, who collaborated with Dhoni for the advertisement. Hakim expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with Dhoni, describing the experience as an honor. He shared that during the IPL, when most players were getting their hair cut short, Dhoni had asked him to create a specific look, emphasising the importance of his long hair.
Alim Hakim has added his creative touch to Dhoni's hair, introducing a fresh twist to his hairstyle. He mentioned in the caption, "Yesssss!!! it’s our King Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Really enjoyed creating this hairstyle with all new texture and colour for Mahi bhai.. Sharing some pics which I clicked before he went to give a shot for an ad film."
As netizens started expressing themselves on social media, some said that Mahi looked like “John Abraham of Dhoom,” while others said he looked “a lot like Hrithik,” and some thought MSD was “Perfect Hollywood Hero Material.” Some even compared his looks with those of Telugu actor Mahesh Babu.
While Dhoni has retired from international cricket, he continues to participate in the IPL, where he led his team to victory in the 2020 season. Whether he plans to make a comeback in international cricket remains uncertain, as Dhoni announced his retirement with a desire to give younger talents a chance. His recent hairstyle has undoubtedly piqued the interest of fans, leaving them wondering what surprises Dhoni may have in store for the future.
As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await Dhoni's next move, one thing is clear: his ever-evolving style and unique hairstyles have left an indelible mark on the world of cricket and fashion. Dhoni's ability to adapt and reinvent himself is a testament to his versatility both on and off the cricket field, making him a timeless icon in the world of sports.
