Mohammed Siraj Playfully Trims Sarfaraz Khan's Hair Ahead of India-Sri Lanka Tests
Ahead of India's two-match Test series against Sri Lanka starting August 15, a viral video shows fast bowler Mohammed Siraj playfully trimming teammate Sarfaraz Khan's hair before a professional hairstylist finished the cut. Sarfaraz, recently recalled to the Test squad after Sai Sudharsan's injury, appeared hesitant but joined teammates Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in getting fresh haircuts during their off day in Colombo. The light-hearted moment highlights camaraderie within the Indian cricket team.
