Dhoni’s moustache a la Vijay

In yesterday's match between Chennai Super Stars and Rajasthan Royals, M.S. Dhoni was seen sporting a moustache in line with the tradition of Tamil Nadu. Dhoni, who is usually cleanly shaved or seen sporting a five o'clock shade, was seen yesterday sporting a well-trimmed moustache, which looks exactly like the one that adorns actor Vijay's upper lip.
Maybe both discussed Tamil culture when they interacted, especially how a moustache plays a role as an indicator of bravery and Dhoni hit upon the idea of growing a moustache. But this time, he chose to follow actor Vijay's style. Earlier, Dhoni was seen sporting a horseshoe-style moustache and even a hipster.

Up North, a clean-shaved face is considered gentlemanly, though hirsute faces are more common in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, which share with Tamil Nadu ideas about facial hair.

In an ad too, Dhoni has a thick fake moustache, caricaturing a maverick Tamilian who issues warning to other teams in the IPL.
