"I realized I was losing hair, and it really affected my confidence big time, which in turn affected my bowling," Mohit told media.
Mohit last featured in an ODI last year, when he went for 84 runs in seven overs against South Africa in Mumbai.
Mohit shot to prominence with his fine performances for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and was also part of the Indian team which made it to the semifinals of the 2015 ICC World Cup.
A hair transplant could solve Mohit's worries and he has Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag and Jacques Kallis to take inspiration from.
Interestingly, Indian opener Gautam Gambhir had once opened up in an interview that cricket has earned him everything he aspired for but his hair.
