And the woman responsible for Virat's new hair style is Mumbai-based celebrity hairstylist Apeni George, who has also worked with the likes of Yuvraj Singh in the past.

And soon, it became a topic of intense online discussion with many endorsing the new look. But not everyone seemed convinced.

Kohli, 27, will lead the Indian Test team against the visiting Kiwis in a three-match series, which starts on September 22 at Kanpur's Green Park.

And once again, the right-handed batsman will be the key man for the team as India look to regain top ranking in Test and also maintain a perfect record against New Zealand at home.

New Zealand have never won a series in India.

This will be the second home series under Kohli's leadership. Last year, Kohli led India to a thumping series win against South Africa, and before that, he helped India to a rare overseas series win at Sri Lanka.

Then, the team defeated West Indies last month.
