CSK denies claims of Dhoni demanding 18%-25% stake in team
Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of CSK, has rejected claims that MS Dhoni requested a 18% to 25% equity stake in the franchise. He informed PTI that these rumors are entirely unfounded. Regarding whether Dhoni will participate in the 2027 IPL, Viswanathan noted that the player has not confirmed his retirement, so it is best to wait. Previous reports had suggested that the bond between Dhoni and CSK suffered following unsuccessful negotiations over ownership.
