Mahendra Singh Dhoni- a man with zero haters. MS Dhoni is not just a name, it&#8217;s an emotion in the world of cricket. Over the years, he has achieved unprecedented success and has taken team India to new heights under his leadership. Three ICC trophies winning former Indian captain is currently on a sabbatical from the game but this hasn&#8217;t affected his popularity in any way.

The big-hitting batsman from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hardik-pandya-and-krunal-pandya-hire-a-charter-and-fly-to-ranchi-to-wish-ms-dhoni-on-his-birthday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ranchi</strong> </a>made his international debut for India in 2004 under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly. In his glorious career of 16 years, Mahi has been the pillar of Indian batting line-up with over 17,000 runs across all the three formats of the game. He has represented India in 350 ODIs, 90 Tests and 98 T20 Internationals along with a staggering 829 dismissals behind the stumps.

The 38-year-old has not only won hearts with his impressive batting style but also with the numerous hairstyles he has sported and immortalised over the years. He has been the trend-setter off the field. From long golden-brown locks to salt and pepper crew cuts, Mahi has done it all.

<strong>Here are a few of his looks:</strong>

In the early years of his cricket career, Mahi became more famous for his long golden hair than his batting capabilities. It was the first time an Indian cricketer was seen sporting such a unique look. He had long locks which were golden-brown in colour.

The Ranchi Starwalt received a lot of appreciation for his look. Former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf was so much in awe of his hairstyle during the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-had-this-competition-in-nets-venkatesh-prasad-reveals-how-india-won-2007-t20-world-cup-bowl-out-against-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Pakistan</strong> </a>tour of 2006, that he advised him to not get a haircut.

India&#8217;s victory in T20 World Cup 2007 was a landmark in Dhoni&#8217;s career as it gave him fame and popularity. After the T20 World Cup, Dhoni was seen as a leader who could lead the team from front and make it win matches both at home and abroad.

During the tournament, Mahi was seen carrying long straightened hair which were jet black in color. This specific look of the former Indian captain was copied massively by the youngsters in the country.

The Ranchi based star surprised the world post the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-had-this-competition-in-nets-venkatesh-prasad-reveals-how-india-won-2007-t20-world-cup-bowl-out-against-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>T20 World Cup 2007</strong></a> by cutting his hair short. People had mixed reviews regarding his new look as some fans appreciated this sober hairstyle while many missed his long locks.

Dhoni donned an ideal summer look as his hair was trimmed on the sides and the volume of hair was only on the nape and crown. This again resulted in cricket fans cutting their long hair to copy their favourite cricketer.

The former Indian captain nearly went bald after the 2011 World Cup which came as a shocker for many. Though he looked smart, it was a bold move from his side as the cricketer was famous for his hair.

Mahi unveiled his look while posing for a picture after India&#8217;s historic victory in the 2011 World Cup. While posing for an iconic photo in front of the Gateway of India in Mumbai, he revealed his new hairstyle. He had trimmed his hair completely and sported a near-bald look.

Over the years Dhoni had started opting for more subtle hairstyles as he led the Indian team in all the three formats of the game. Also, more than his personal life or appearance, he let his game do the talking. However, the veteran wicketkeeper managed to make heads turn whenever he sported a different look.

In 2013, he opted for a &#8216;mohawk&#8217; hairstyle while captaining his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-told-me-it-was-obviously-his-decision-to-bring-me-to-csk-piyush-chawla/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>CSK</strong></a>). It was one of his most famous styles. He completely trimmed the sides and sported a Mohawk. Though the cricketer faced criticism for his new look, eventually people got accustomed to seeing their captain in Mohawk style.

It was in 2016 that MS Dhoni&#8217;s biopic graced the silver screen. Dhoni&#8217;s popularity was shot through the roof as the movie based on his life received a lot of appreciation and love from the audience. While promoting his biopic, the Indian legend took extra effort in looking his best.

In 2018, Dhoni set a new fearless standard of fashion with his &#8216;salt and pepper&#8217; look. The salt and pepper style with a grey beard and black hair gave an example of Mahi&#8217;s real fearless character as he made no attempt in hiding his age. The combination of grey and black colour enhanced the overall look of MS Dhoni. His new hairstyle made him look mature and elegant and also gave a fresh vibe to his personality.

<p>Over the years Dhoni had started opting for more subtle hairstyles as he led the Indian team in all the three formats of the game. Also, more than his personal life or appearance, he let his game do the talking. However, the veteran wicketkeeper managed to make heads turn whenever he sported a different look.</p>
<p>In 2013, he opted for a &#8216;mohawk&#8217; hairstyle while captaining his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-told-me-it-was-obviously-his-decision-to-bring-me-to-csk-piyush-chawla/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>CSK</strong></a>). It was one of his most famous styles. He completely trimmed the sides and sported a Mohawk. Though the cricketer faced criticism for his new look, eventually people got accustomed to seeing their captain in Mohawk style.</p>
