She posted an image of Dhoni in his new look on social media platforms and added a little description of the new hairstyle.

She wrote, "MS Dhoni's haircut is called "The high and tight" or "The jarhead". In 2011, MS was conferred with the rank of honourary Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army by President Pratibha Patil. MS' dream of being a part of the army came true and he then decided he would never wear his hair long again."
