<p>Cricketers, especially Indians, are on a beard-shaving spree with players such as Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya giving the rugged look a break and opting for just a moustache and a stubble.</p>
<p>However, Team India skipper Virat Kohli has refused to follow his teammates in this matter.</p>

<p>The Royal Challengers Bangalore star posted a picture of himself showing his beard and wrote: &ldquo;Sorry boys @hardikpandya_official @royalnavghan @rohitsharma45 but I am not ready to break the beard yet. Great job on the makeovers though. Kudos.&rdquo;</p>
