Virat Kohli & co sport a new look before the 3rd Test

The Indian cricket team is on a high after winning the series against Sri Lanka in their own backyard and are now raring to make it a white wash. Everything seems to be clicking for the young side and they haven’t wasted anytime off the field too. A few members of the Indian side including skipper Virat Kohli visited Ramani Fernando Salons at Taj Samudra hotel recently and the players are expected to sport new hairstyles.

The hairstylist said that skipper Kohli came to the salon with a photo and wanted a similar haircut. He didn’t talk much and was silent throughout, but he was satisfied with his new look. Kohli even recommended some his team-mates to go and try out the place.

The Indian cricketers recently took part in the ‘break the beard’ challenge, where the likes of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma posted the videos of their new look.

“We had a very distinguished guest as a customer last week. He was none other than Team India captain Virat Kohli,” Samantha K. Pathirana, the manager at the salon, speaking to Deccan Chronicle said, “Virat came with a photo, which he used to show us the look he wanted and our hairstylist, Dhanushka Silva, obliged him.”

“I was so overwhelmed with Kohli’s request that I forgot to take his photo, and I will repent that forever! He was in quite a hurry and had no time to chat with us. But he was very happy with his new hair style and promised to send a few more members of the team.”

The stylist also added, “He sent K.L. Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya also to visit us. Most of the time during my session with Kohli, he was silent, but added he was satisfied and that he’d come again during this tour.”

The Indian team will take on Sri Lanka in the 3^rd and final Test match starting from August 12.
