Last night was the terrible one for the fans of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Cricket fans were in a state of shock when Dhoni announced his decision to relinquish captaincy from ODI and T-20 format all of a sudden. While we can’t change his decision, but we can definitely take you down memory lane and revisit the captain cool’s hairstyles. In the career spanning 12 years, Dhoni has donned some really crazy hairstyles. From his long hair look to his edgy Mohawk, Mahi has sported over 8 different hairstyles.
Dhoni in long Hair:
In 2005, a newcomer wicket-keeper was seen sporting long shoulder-length hair. Parted from the center, his straight locks became an instant trend. Fans went bonkers. But the turning point was when he bleached his hair. During his long hair look, even Pakistani President General Parvez Musharraf praised his cut and asked him not to cut his hair. He continued his hairstyle till the 2007 ICC World T20, which India won under his leadership.
Fades on sides look:
