Some of the X users also shared their thoughts on his post. One of the users wrote, “John Abraham of Dhoom," and another user wrote, "Perfect Hollywood Hero material..." Some of the users even compare the former captain with Telugu Star Mahesh Babu. 

One user also praised Hairstylist Aalim Hakim for giving Dhoni a vintage look, “Till date this is the best of your work I have seen."

Aalim Hakim client list

Dhoni isn't the only celebrity who groomed his look from Aalim Hakim. His client list includes Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Katrina Kaif. 

The hairstylist has also groomed some of the other cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ajinkya Rahane, Sachin Tendulkar, Suresh Raina and Hardik Pandya.

Dhoni's look over the years

Since their debut in international cricket, MS Dhoni often used to be in the news for his hairstyle. Even in 2006, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was impressed with Dhoni's new look and asked the MSD to never have a haircut. 

Dhoni, over the years, has inspired millions of cricket lovers to have a similar haircut. He had maintained his look in the 2007 T20 World Cup, then in 2009, he had a buzz cut, and after lifting the 2011 World Cup, Dhoni almost had the bald cut.
