Harshal Patel is one of Indian cricket's most recognisable fast bowlers — a T20I specialist who has represented India at the highest level and played across multiple IPL franchises including RCB, SRH, and Punjab Kings. Like many professional athletes who appear regularly on HD broadcast television watched by hundreds of millions, hair loss was something Harshal wanted to address — discreetly, permanently, and with results that would hold up under a camera lens.
He chose Dr. Arihant Surana at Monaris Hair Clinic, Defence Colony, New Delhi — a surgeon with over 22 years of exclusive hair restoration experience, former Medical Director of Alvi Armani India (2012–2020), and Pioneer of FUE in India since 2008.
Harshal's hair restoration journey at Monaris was a two-stage process — a deliberate, planned approach to achieving the most natural, dense result possible while minimising downtime around his cricket schedule.
"When a professional cricketer places their trust in you for something as permanent as a hair transplant, the margin for error is zero. Harshal needed results that would be completely undetectable — whether he was playing at Chinnaswamy or walking past a camera at an IPL broadcast."
— Dr. Arihant Surana, Founder, Monaris Hair ClinicThe results speak for themselves. Today, Harshal Patel plays international cricket with a full, natural hairline — and nobody can tell the difference.

A single mega-session hair transplant is not always the best approach — especially for patients with significant hair loss across the entire scalp. Dr. Surana planned Harshal's restoration in two deliberate stages, each timed around his cricket commitments.
Harshal's first procedure at Monaris focused on the hairline — the most artistically demanding aspect of hair restoration and the area most visible to cameras and in person. Dr. Surana personally designed and executed the hairline using Follicular Unit Extraction.
Four years after his first procedure, Harshal returned to Monaris for his second transplant — addressing the crown and remaining scalp to achieve complete, uniform density across the entire head. This procedure used Monaris's proprietary AHT technique.

The true test of a hair transplant result is not in a studio — it's under the HD cameras of an IPL broadcast, in natural sunlight, in motion. These photos show Harshal playing for Punjab Kings after his procedures at Monaris. The result is completely natural and undetectable.

Professional cricketers cannot afford a botched hair transplant. Their image is scrutinised at 4K resolution by broadcast cameras, editorial photographers, and fans who would immediately notice an unnatural hairline or poor density. The standard required is absolute.
Harshal Patel chose Dr. Arihant Surana at Monaris because of one non-negotiable difference — at Monaris, the surgeon performs every extraction and every implantation himself. No technicians operate. This is rare in India, where most clinics delegate the surgical steps to staff while the doctor merely supervises.
Dr. Surana's credentials are exceptional — Pioneer of FUE in India (2008), Medical Director of Alvi Armani India (2012–2020), Economic Times Inspiring Trichologist of India (2023), and over 3,500 procedures completed across 22+ years of exclusive hair restoration practice.
