- India fast bowler Ishant Sharma was seen sporting the man bun in Mohali, a hairstyle popularised by soccer stars Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gareth Bale.
The man bun isn’t just a men’s hairstyle that popped up casually, it carries along a legacy that stretches way back from the Japanese Samurai era.
Men with long tresses style their hair into a bun, just like women do.
However, the man bun has been on the rise in the last years and is becoming the most popular hairstyle among top sportsmen around the world.
It was first popularised by the Swedish soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale joined him.
Latest sportsman to add to the list is India’s paceman Ishant Sharma. He was seen busy caressing his marvelous mane during India's practice session, at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium in Mohali, on Wednesday.
Ishant has been banned for the first Test of the four-match series against South Africa but he was actively involved in the nets session and his man bun surely grabbed quite a few eyeballs.
