The 2021 edition of IPL is well and truly under way and by the looks of it, this is not your usual T20 carnival.

Batting has been difficult more often than not and bowlers – seamers and spinners – are enjoying some rare days of dominance, especially in Chennai.

Will the trend continue or will the pitch curators decide to give viewers more sixes and fours? After all, that's what T20 fans really want.

One thing is for sure – there will be no shortage of excitement and style. Just like the hairstyle of some of the players in this year's tournament.

The global pandemic and restrictions on players' movements has meant that not everyone has had the opportunity to work on their looks. But some have managed to, and they can be seen in the picture gallery above.
