The Mumbai Indians (MI) are up against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. But, the focus of the game is on Krunal Pandya and his new hairstyle, which he unveiled in today's game. The crowd at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, was stunned to see Pandya's new hairstyle, which resembles Jofra Archer's style.
Meanwhile, RCB went on to score 240 runs in the first innings, putting on a competitive total on the board. Phil Salt went berserk with his batting, slamming 78 off 36 balls, including six boundaries and sixes. He got good support from Virat Kohli (50) and Rajat Patidar, who scored his half-century in just 17 deliveries. MI will have to chase down the mammoth target to win the game and get those valuable points.
Krunal Pandya's new hairstyle in IPL 2026
RCB's Krunal Pandya has done well in the tournament this season. His confidence is on the rise after his previous stint with the franchise went well. So this time, Pandya went on to upgrade his hairstyle to something different and unique. Usually, it's Hardik Pandya who takes the centre stage when it comes to unique hairstyles.
But Krunal did put on a good effort on his hairstyle and changed it to Jamaican braids. He had long hair before the start of the campaign, and during the break that RCB got, he went on to change his hairstyle completely. While some fans made hilarious comments on Pandya and drew comparisons with Archer, some genuinely liked his hairstyle.
