He further talked about how he gave a silver streak to Rishabh Pant before he was supposed to get the “Emerging Player of the Year” award. “The look became quite popular among the young cricketers,” he adds.
Speaking about overseas cricketers, Salmani adds: “Foreign players, too, do not like clean cut, and as per the texture of their hair, it does not suit them much. Foreign players like to keep texture on top part of the hair, unlike Indian players. They do not like solid and balanced hair cut.”
