The netizens of the country saw Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, trying their skills with a scissor or a trimmer. Now, legendary cricketer Kapil Dev joins his compatriots, but the former Team India skipper has gone a step further, by shaving off his head completely, and resembles the iconic Marvel character Thanos!
