Report: Dhoni's bid for 25% stake in CSK falls through, causing friction
According to a recent report, former Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni sought a 25% ownership stake in the team, but the discussions did not result in a deal. The franchise initially proposed a 3% share, and although Dhoni eventually reduced his request to 18%, the team's last offer stood at 5.5%. The report suggests that these unsuccessful negotiations have negatively impacted the bond between the legendary player and the five-time IPL title winners.
