When it comes to setting fashion and grooming benchmarks, Virat Kohli needs no introduction. From his early days with spiky flicks to his recent clean-shaven, rugged looks, every hairstyle he’s ever sported has sparked a frenzy. But interestingly, the latest buzz isn’t about a brand-new cut — it’s about his old haircut . Yes, fans and fashion enthusiasts are now revisiting Virat’s classic hairstyles from the 2012–2016 era, calling them the “old haircut latest” trend.
Social media has played a huge role. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube are flooded with reels titled “Virat Kohli old hairstyle tutorial” and “How to get Virat’s 2016 look” . Barbers report a spike in requests for “that old Virat cut” — mainly because it suits a wide range of face shapes, requires less daily maintenance than an undercut, and gives a youthful, energetic vibe.
The style in question is Virat’s signature mid-length textured crop with a side fringe — often paired with slightly longer top locks and neatly trimmed sides. Think back to the 2014 Australia tour or the 2016 World Cup. That effortlessly cool, slightly messy yet sharp look is what everyone wants to recreate today.
