MS Dhoni, the iconic former captain of the Indian cricket team, has once again captured the public’s attention—not for his cricketing prowess, but for his latest hairstyle. Renowned for his willingness to experiment with his hair, Dhoni’s new look has sent social media into a frenzy.
Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim, who has previously worked with Dhoni, shared a series of photos showcasing the cricketer’s latest hairdo on Instagram. The images quickly went viral, drawing admiration and awe from fans who commented on Dhoni’s seemingly ageless appearance. “He is aging in reverse” and “He looks more handsome than actors” were among the glowing remarks.
Hakim’s Instagram post featured Dhoni in a black T-shirt, sporting a shorter, stylish haircut. “Our young, dynamic and handsome Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It’s a pure joy to cut and style our Thala’s hair and he is always courteous enough to let me click his pics,” Hakim captioned the photos. The Chennai Super Kings, Dhoni’s IPL team, also reshared the images, praising Dhoni’s dapper new look.
The response to Dhoni’s new hairstyle was overwhelmingly positive. Within an hour of being posted, the photos had garnered over 40,000 likes, with comments pouring in from celebrities like Namrata Shirodkar and Suniel Shetty, as well as countless fans. One user exclaimed, “Oh my my Mahi,” while another noted, “Man is aging in reverse. Thala for a reason.” Others marveled at his handsome appearance, with comments like, “Koi itna handsome kaise ho sakta hai (How can someone be so handsome).”
This isn’t the first time Dhoni’s hair has made headlines. In May, he revealed a longer hairstyle, also styled by Aalim Hakim. Back then, Hakim shared his excitement about working with Dhoni, highlighting the cricketer’s love for vintage music and the delightful surprise of his visit to the salon.
As Dhoni continues to reinvent his look, his fans remain eagerly supportive. What are your thoughts on MS Dhoni’s new hairdo?
