Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been one of the greatest players from his nation in the last few years. Since making his debut as a teenager in 2006, he has played 99 T20Is, 221 ODIs, and 63 Tests. The left-hander also led the team in the initial phase of his career from 2009 to 2011, even though the team had a senior player such as Mashrafe Mortaza.

In the last couple of years, he has been in the news either for the right or wrong reasons. Be it kicking the stumps, failing to report spot-fixing approaches, or pulling out from a series due to family reasons are some of the reasons he has been in the news. Once again, he has been in the news for the wrong reasons.

He posted a picture with a brown dress and hair of the same colour. Within minutes after posting the picture, it caught the wind of the internet.

Twitter users have been mercilessly trolling the 35-year-old for the look. One user sarcastically compared the look with Johnny Depp's from the film - Pirates in the Caribbean. Another user asked the cricketer what he was thinking before posting it. There were many fans who weren't happy with his look.

Although there is no official reason for this, it could be a possibility that this could be a brand endorsement. This is not the first time a player has done a make-over for a brand endorsement. Last year, former India skipper MS Dhoni put on a bald cap to shoot a promo for Indian T20 League 2021. Even this year, he went through a complete makeover for the 15th season of the cash-rich league.

Meanwhile, Hasan became the number two all-rounder in Test last month during the series against the West Indies. Notably, he hasn't played too many games in the longest format of the game in the last couple of years.
