MS Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, is once again making waves online — not for his cricket, but for his ever-evolving hairstyle. Known for frequently switching up his look, Dhoni has debuted a fresh new haircut that is grabbing attention across social media.
The latest photos, shared by celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim, show Dhoni sporting a shorter, sleeker cut. Dressed in a black T-shirt, the cricket icon appears confident and composed. In some images, he poses alone, while in others, he stands alongside Hakim, who is also wearing black.
“Our young, dynamic and handsome Mahendra Singh Dhoni,” Hakim captioned the post. “It’s a pure joy to cut and style our Thala’s hair, and he’s always courteous enough to let me click his pics.”
The images were quickly picked up and re-shared by Dhoni’s IPL team, Chennai Super Kings, who wrote, “Thala Dhoni dapper in new look.”
Within an hour of going live, the post had earned over 40,000 likes, including from celebrities Namrata Shirodkar and Suniel Shetty. Fans flooded the comments with admiration. One user wrote, “Oh my my Mahi,” while another said, “Man is ageing in reverse. Thala for a reason.” Another commented, “Koi itna handsome kaise ho sakta hai (How can someone be this handsome)?”
Many users also reminisced about Dhoni’s earlier hairstyles. “Mahi in long hair hits different,” one fan noted. Another added, “Bro is ageing like fine wine.”
Just last month, Dhoni made headlines for his longer hairstyle. Styled once again by Hakim, that look featured brushed-back hair that reached his neck. Sharing those pictures, Hakim wrote, “The enigmatic Mahendra Singh Dhoni walked into our salon and what a wonderful surprise it was. He played some awesome vintage music during the session and made the day even better.”
From long locks to sharp cuts, Dhoni continues to surprise fans not just on the field, but in style as well.
