India's greatest batsman, Virat Kohli, is once again the talk of social media, but it is not because he does well in the cricket environment. The new hairstyle of the batting legend in a pastel colour is very popular, and people from all over the world ask about his new look.
The transformation comes one week after RCB won their second IPL title, a great coincidence for fans. Kohli’s style statement has already been copied on and off the field and has been widely seen (by thousands of people) with opinions and shares on social media.
The cricketer's new look has been revealed by celebrity hairstylist Rashid Salmani, who posted his selfie video with Kohli on Instagram. Salmani captioned the video, “King Kohli is now in pastel,” introducing fans to the cricket star’s latest fashion experiment.
Kohli’s style of hairstyle is another departure from what he has usually done for his daily grooming. The former Indian captain has had a variety of hairstyles and beard styles over the years, which have won over fans and young cricketers. But his new pastel hair colour has been hailed as one of his boldest and most fashionable looks.
Supporters quickly poured praise on social media, and they told us that Kohli’s new hairstyle is “stylish,” “refreshing,” “perfectly suited” to Kohli’s charismatic personality. Kohli’s fan base has a long history of setting trends and redefining athlete fashion in India.
Kohli’s recent cricket performances are just as impressive. The veteran batsman was crucial to RCB winning the IPL 2026 championship. Kohli was trying to recover from a hamstring injury when he scored an all-round match-winning 75 in the final of IPL 2026 against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. And by the time he finished off the game, RCB had won their second consecutive IPL trophy.
Kohli maintained his character and performance in the innings when he was under pressure. He took care of the injury issue and delivered when his team needed him the most - so he was able to establish himself as one of cricket’s greatest match winners.
However, the injury has continued to trouble the star batter. Kohli has not yet recovered from the hamstring issue and will miss India’s three-match One Day International (ODI) series against Afghanistan later this month.
The ODI series will be played on June 13, June 17, and June 20 in Dharamshala, Lucknow, and Chennai, respectively. In Kohli’s absence, young batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal has been selected as his replacement and will have another chance to make it into the international team.
Having already retired from Test cricket and T20 Internationals, Kohli’s appearances for India have become increasingly selective, and every update about his fitness and availability is a major talking point among fans.
At the moment, Virat Kohli has earned his viral hairstyle as well as the fans’ attention (and the media’s attention), so he is constantly receiving fans’ attention. His new pastel hair is just another example of why he is still one of the most influential and celebrated figures in world cricket.
