Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is making the most of his break. Kohli posted a picture on Twitter with him sporting a new hairstyle ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

"Great cut from the style master @AalimHakim," Kohli wrote praising celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim.

Kohli, who missed India's final Twenty20 International against South Africa with a stiff back, was rested from the recently-concluded Nidahas Trophy. India, under Rohit Sharma, went on to win the title with a thrilling four-wicket win over Bangladesh in Sunday's final.

Kohli, who leads Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), is hoping to win the elusive IPL title this season. RCB have finished runners-up thrice – in 2009, 2011 and 2016 – in the 10 editions of the tournament.

The IPL begins on April 7. RCB open their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on April 8.
