Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the enigmatic and iconic Indian cricketer, is not just known for his on-field heroics and captaincy brilliance. He's also a trendsetter, and his hairstyles have become a cultural phenomenon, mirroring his own evolution as a player and personality.
The world first met Dhoni as a long-haired, confident youngster with flowing tresses that defied cricketing convention. This wasn't just a hairstyle; it was a statement. As a wicketkeeper-batsman from Ranchi, breaking into the Indian team, Dhoni's flowing locks symbolized his carefree, unorthodox approach to the game. It resonated with the youth, inspiring thousands to embrace their individuality and challenge norms. During this era, the iconic 2007 T20 World Cup win cemented Dhoni's legend, and his long hair look became iconic.

MS Dhoni said, "maintaining this hairstyle is very difficult. Earlier I used to get ready in 20 mins, now it takes 1 hour 10 minutes. I'm doing because fans are liking it, but someday I wakes up and decide it's enough, I'll cut it down".pic.twitter.com/qknk36Spop

These days, Dhoni sports a similar long hair style and fans are loving it. However, in a recent interaction, Dhoni revealed the bittersweet reality of his long locks. "Earlier when I used to go for ad shoots, I would be usually ready in 20 minutes but now, it takes more than an hour. So, it's a bit boring to just sit on a chair and wait. But all my fans loved the look so I will keep it for a while but it is quite difficult to maintain it. It may so happen that I wake up someday and ecide to chop it off," he said.
