The dynamic batsman took to his Instagram account to share his updated look with his followers.

The challenge gained mainstream attention two seasons ago, and the trend has still not died down. Several cricketers have shaved their beards as a part of the challenge in the Dream11 IPL 2020 as well. Suryakumar Yadav too shuffled his looks and sported a new 'sole patch' style.

Several cricketers apart from Suryakumar Yadav have already undertaken the challenge. Flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya was the inspiration for teammate Kieron Pollard, who wooed fans after he showcased a fresh look earlier in the competition. Kolkata's Dinesh Karthik also obliged to the trend and rocked a goatee after shaving his beard. Several other cricketers such as AB de Villiers, Rahul Tewatia, Faf du Plessis, Isuru Udana, Krunal Pandya and many more have already featured in the 'Break the Beard' initiative this year.
