MS Dhoni's 'bald' new look confuses fans ahead of IPL 2021

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is known for experimenting with his looks every now and then and is seen in different hairstyles almost every other year. The former skipper was last seen on the field during the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), leading the franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

The veteran will now return back to competitive cricket with the 2021 edition of the T20 Extravaganza, scheduled from April 9 to May 30 across six cities with Mumbai Indians (MI) locking horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the inaugural game. Ahead of the elite tournament, MS Dhoni again managed to stun the cricket fans with his brand new look.

The official broadcaster of IPL, Star sports, shared a picture of the ‘Captain Cool’ on their official Twitter handle where Dhoni can be seen wearing the dress of a saint and sporting a completely bald hairstyle. In addition, the batsman is sitting in a forest-like place that screams peace and harmony. Within a few minutes, the picture went viral on social media garnering thousands of likes and comments from cricket enthusiasts.

“Our faces since we saw #MSDhoni’s new avatar that could just break the Internet! What do you think is it about?” Star Sports tweeted.

MS Dhoni is a very determined person: N Srinivasan

A few days back MS Dhoni had landed in Chennai to join the Super Kings camp and prepare himself for the upcoming IPL. Dhoni has been sweating it out in the nets as he and CSK are eager to make a comeback after a torrid run in IPL 2020. The owner of CSK and the Managing Director of the India Cements Group, N Srinivasan, revealed the information of Dhoni being in Chennai and practising day in and day out in the indoor nets.

“For your information, MS Dhoni is in Chennai. He takes his cricket so seriously; he is practicing in the morning in the indoor nets and in the afternoon, he is practicing at Chepauk. He is a very determined person and that is what we like. One more thing, Cricket is about winning, IPL is about winning but there are also things such as consistency and loyalty and I think that is what oozes out of us,” said Srinivasan.
