All in the hair: Five cricketers who sported weirdest hairstyles

Cricketers are among the most followed sports personalities in the world and in modern times, are also regarded as the style icons by many cricket enthusiasts. Nowadays, players also take a special interest in making sure that they are up-to-date in terms of fashion and their outer appearance. However, sometimes while trying to make a fashion statement, cricketers end up donning some weird hairdos that make them an easy target of trolls on social media. Here is the list of 5 players with weirdest hairstyles.

Andre Russell

While discussing weird hairstyles in the cricket fraternity, one cannot ignore West Indies explosive all-rounder Andre Russell. Though the hard-hitter likes to keep a Mohawk hairstyle, he gave it his personal touch by colouring the hair in the middle blonde. With a coloured Mohawk, the cricketer can be spotted on the cricket pitch even from far away.

Hardik Pandya

India’s swashbuckling power-hitter Hardik Pandya is no less than a style icon in the cricket fraternity. During the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the all-rounder came up with a few funky hairstyles that became the focal point of discussion among the fans. Hardik was first seen sporting a similar hairstyle to Andre Russell but towards the business end of the league, he went completely bald.

Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine is the main reason behind the immense popularity of the Mohawk hairstyle among the cricketers as he has been sporting the same style since his debut on the big stage on December 5, 2011 against India. In Mohawk, the sides of the head are shaved off and the hair in the middle is allowed to grow and spiked.

Beuran Hendricks

The 30-year-old left-arm fast-medium bowler from South Africa, Beuran Hendricks was recently in the news but for all the wrong reasons. Beuran made a mockery out of himself on social media and was brutally trolled by the audience for his new hairstyle that was as bizarre as one can think of. The seamer shaved off the sides of his head and allowed the hair in the middle to grow. In addition, he dyed his hair blonde.

Andre Fletcher

The right-handed opening batsman from the Island nation of Grenada, who occasionally kept wickets for West Indies, Andre Fletcher has often hogged the limelight for his bizarre hairstyles. The Caribbean players are generally known for setting trends with their unique hairstyles but Fletcher went a step ahead as in the 2020 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), he was seen sporting a red coloured long hairstyle which left the fans in splits.
