Dhoni Says Goodbye to Long Hair, Embraces New Side-Fade Hairstyle
Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni has switched from his iconic long hair to a classy side-fade hairstyle. This change has sparked excitement among his massive fanbase. His hairstylist, Aalim Hakim, revealed the new look on social media, captivating fans once again.
Last year, Dhoni delighted fans by sporting his long hair reminiscent of the 2007 T20 World Cup during IPL 2024. His transformation showcases his influence, despite his limited social media presence. Dhoni’s latest style change has once again captured the spotlight, proving his timeless popularity off the field.
Dhoni has gained significant attention recently for his evolving hairstyles, thanks to stylist Aalim Hakim. He typically debuts a new look before each IPL season, building excitement for the upcoming edition.
New Look, New IPL Challenge?
Much of the buzz around Dhoni’s new hairstyle stems from increasing speculation about his future with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Since retiring from international cricket in August 2020, Dhoni’s only involvement in cricket is through the IPL. With new auction and retention rules released in September, there’s talk about Dhoni being allowed as an uncapped player.
According to the new rules, a capped Indian player will become uncapped if they have not played in the last five calendar years preceding the relevant season.
Dhoni was expected to retire from the IPL at the end of the 2024 season after hinting at his swansong last year. He led the Super Kings to victory in IPL 2023. While he stepped down as captain and handed over the baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad in 2024, he remained tight-lipped about his future after the end of the season.
