Virat Kohli’s Indian team will have a new look in the ongoing matches against Sri Lanka. A few members of the Indian cricket team visited Ramani Fernando Salons in Taj Samudra hotel recently. “We had a very distinguished guest as a customer last week. He was none other than Team India captain Virat Kohli”, Samantha K. Pathirana, the manager at the Salon, speaking exclusively, said.
“Virat came with a photo, which he showed us to style him after and our hair-stylist, Dhanushka Silva “obliged” him,” he said.
Later speaking to this reporter, Dhanushka said, “I was so overwhelmed with Kohli’s request that I forgot to take his photo and I will repent it for ever...”.

“Kohli was so much in hurry, had no time to chat with us,” he said.
“Kohli was so happy with his new hair style and promised to send a few more members of the team”, he said.
“He sent Lokesh Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya also,” he further said.
“Most of the time during my session with Kohli, he was silent but said he is satisfied and also said, will come again during this tour,” he said.
The Indian team has now reached Kandy but is scheduled to arrive in Colombo again for the limited over matches.
“I know few players have their wives on the current tour. As usual we have had few female customers also in the last couple of days, but don’t know whether any of them was the wife of a player”, the hair-stylist said.
“Many Sri Lankan players and their wives do visit our salon regularly”, the manager said.
“It was not a complimentary service to the players. Yes, we did charge to them”. The hair-stylist preferred to keep mum when asked whether Kohli did give him a tip.
