The secret behind Viru bowling with his cap on

[SachDan]

No style statement there. Sources in the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) have said the dashing opener had a hush-hush trip to Dubai a fortnight ago, where he underwent tests in an upmarket hair transplant clinic. Ahmedabad Mirror had reported Sehwag’s intentions of regaining his crowning glory way back on November 17, 2008 (Dubai, hair comes Viru). With India’s Pakistan tour called off, Sehwag decided to take full advantage of the unexpected Christmas break (before the first ODI against Sri Lanka on January 28, India last played international cricket on December 23, 2008) to ensure his scalp is again full of hair. A quick trip to Dubai’s Alvi Armani Hair Studio and examination by an American surgeon, who has also worked on Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt’s scalps, set the ball rolling for our batting star. Following the tests, Sehwag was advised not to expose his scalp. And that’s why, it’s cap on even while bowling for the Nawab of Najafgarh. Every patient going in for hair transplant is advised to cover his scalp after the first phase of treatment, which Sehwag is undergoing currently. Sehwag joins cricketers like former England skipper Graham Gooch, Australians Shane Warne, Greg Matthews and Ricky Ponting, and Pakistan’s Naved ul-Hasan Rana, all of whom have got a hair transplant done. At the start of his career, Sehwag often drew comparison with his idol Sachin Tendulkar, not just because of his batting style but also due to a similarity in build. Like Tendulkar, Sehwag, short and stocky, sported a thick crop of curly hair. REVEALED Now we know, Viru, why the cap is on while you bowl. Hair-raising stuff, we say But success claimed its pound of flesh, or hair in Viru’s case. For the last year-and-a-half, Sehwag sported a completely bald look. Sehwag and his family have always been cagey about discussing his baldness, and treatment. However, the Delhi media is abuzz with the news of Sehwag’s Dubai sojourn. However, the cricketer’s wife, Aarti, was quoted as saying that she would never push her husband to get a hair transplant done. WHY CRICKETERS ARE AT A RISK? Not just cricketers, anyone who has to wear a helmet for long hours run a risk of losing hair. Long hours under the sun, sweat accumulation due to caps and helmets and non-stop travelling result in quite a few players losing their hair. Legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne had gone completely bald, but now sports long hair after being treated by Advanced Hair Studio, a clinic specialising in hair loss treatment. Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has never admitted he underwent a hair transplant but after years of thinning, he shocked everyone at an International Cricket Council awards in 2007 sporting a thick crop of hair. Hard-hitting England opener for three decades between 1970s and 1990s, Gooch was perhaps the first star cricketer who openly admitted getting a hair transplant done. WHAT IS HAIR TRANSPLANT? During hair transplant, hair-bearing portions of the scalp are removed surgically and they are transplanted on an area of thinning hair. After a fortnight following the surgery, the entire portion of transplanted hair fall off. New hair begin to grow only after three months. The entire procedure costs around Rs 3 lakh and those who undergo the treatment must continue to take the medication for a long time. Also, they need to undergo hair weaving every year or so.

Go Viru ...

[flamy]

i like round viru :(( I mean think abt it... He plays better and is more consistent with less hair. As for Dhoni, ever since he cut his locks, he is not a power hitter. Do I even need to bring up Ishant? :(( And wats this bull abt losing hair if you wear helmet? Sachin ALWAYS wears a helmet.
