During a post-match press conference after India’s impressive win over hosts Pakistan in Lahore, Parvez Musharraf had urged MS Dhoni to keep his iconic long-hair look at the time.
Former India captain MS Dhoni and his long-flowing mane had become synonymous in his early days in international cricket. Dhoni’s long hair was not only a rage in India but also in neighbouring Pakistan as well. Dhoni, who celebrates his 40th birthday on Wednesday (July 7), garnered plenty of fans in Pakistam – including the then Pakistan president Parvez Musharraf with his sensational display with the willow in the 2005-06 season. Former Pakistan president Musharraf, used to come over to the stadium to watch some of the matches on India's tour of Pakistan once advised Dhoni to not cut his long mane. During a post-match press conference after India’s impressive win over hosts Pakistan in Lahore, Musharraf had urged Dhoni to keep his iconic long-hair look at the time. In his short speech, Musharraf had hailed the wicketkeeper-batsman stalwart as the architect of Team India’s victory. “I saw a placard which said ‘Dhoni have a haircut’. If you want to take my opinion, you look good in this haircut. Don’t have a haircut,” Musharraf had famously said after India defeated Pakistan in the third ODI of the bilateral series.More Related News
