Virat Kohli’s achievement as a cricketer is surreal, to say the least. He has taken Indian cricket to greater heights with his batting and captaincy over the years.
Kohli has represented India in 113 Tests, 292 ODIs and 117 T20Is so far, amassing more than 26000 international runs with 80 centuries. He led India in 213 matches across formats and won 135 of them. His success rate as Indian captain is one of the best in the history of cricket.
No wonder, Virat Kohli is considered as one of the leading sports brands in the world. Each and everything related to him grabs attention in the media.
Not a long ago, celebrity hair stylist Aalim Hakim set the internet ablaze by sharing Kohli’s pictures with a new hairdo.
Speaking to Brut India, Hakim has now revealed how much Kohli and other Indian cricket stars spend on their haircut.
"My Fee is very simple which everybody know How much I charge. So, it starts from ₹1 lakh. That's the minimum," Hakim said.
"Mahi sir and Virat, they are very old friends and they have been coming to me for haircuts for a long time. And since IPL was coming now, so we decided to do something cool and different. And Virat always have references that ‘we need to try this, we will try that next time’.
“So we keep chatting all the time that what should (be) the next look. This time we decided to do something really cool. We did a slit in his eyebrows and kept the sides a little fade, a little mullet at the back. The texture can show and yeah, and we did a little colour in the hair. So when I posted the picture, it really broke the internet and the amount of shares and likes I got on my post, that was insane,” he added.
Hakim highlighted Kohli's massive fan following and influence in the fashion world. He also spoke about former India captain Dhoni, stating he's “not less than any Hollywood actor.”
“And he has an immense fan following. People follow Virat Kohli all over the world. And Virat Kohli is a big sensation when it comes to fashion and aesthetics. His own aesthetics are so strong when it comes to fashion. He is not only one of the best but he is the best player in the world. But also when it comes to style, fashion, he is number one. And when we talk about Dhoni, I visualize Mahi in a very different way. For me, he is not less than any Hollywood actor. I always visualize him as a star, as a cool guy. So whenever there is an ad film shoot happening, I always request him, 'Let me record you or let me do some photo shoot from my phone. And then I'll post it later whenever I feel like,” Hakim remarked.
Talking about Virat Kohli, he is currently featuring in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). In five matches so far, Kohli has registered scores of 21, 77, 83*, 22 and 113*.
