Former Team India captain and Chennai Super Kings star, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, surprised fans with a bold new hairstyle, and social media can't stop talking about it.

Popular celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim shared photos and videos of Dhoni's latest haircut on Instagram.

The cricketer now sports a sharp fade with ash and blonde highlights, giving fans a fresh new version of their "Captain Cool."

"Mahendra Singh Dhoni... when Captain Cool goes edgy -- you know it's game on! Crafted a sharp, bold, and effortless look for the legend himself. Just like his game -- clean, fearless, and always ahead of the curve," Aalim wrote in his caption, sharing Dhoni's pictures.
