10. Mohammad Nawaz

When he is not busy saving penalties from the Indian captain or making finger-tip saves, you can find him donning a clean-faded haircut, which almost gives him a schoolboy look. Don’t go by his well-behaved looks, as he can very well be an annoyance to opposition attackers.

This youngster has risen through the ranks of Indian football quite quickly after showing his prowess for the Mariners in the Indian Super League. If his long-range shots and quick feet impress you, wait till you see his hairstyle.

Liston Colaco dons a pompadour-style haircut, which certainly adds more volume to it. With five goals and an assist in 12 games, you can expect him to wow us with his skills some more.

8. Manisha Kalyan

The young striker who was part of the Indian contingent at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup has a sort of a fringe with coloured streaks. Sometimes, she also ties a hairband so that she can keep the strands from blocking her view, while she’s dribbling past defenders.

Apart from winning the AIFF Women’s Emerging Footballer of the Year, she became the first Indian to score against the Brazil national team.

7. Dheeraj Singh

Another goalkeeper who has a clean cut is FC Goa’s Dheeraj Singh. His head of hair resembles an almost taper fade-like style, which gives him a clean and proper look when combed properly.

For the most part of his career, he has been donning a head full of spiky hair, with certain tinges of a fade.
