5 Instances when controversial statements were made against MS Dhoni

3. Accused of Conflict of Interest (Rhiti Sports Management)

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper in 2015 was accused of alleged conflict of interest involving Rhiti Sports Management. The mentioned company manages his commercial interests as well as the same of his fellow CSK mates Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja.

The controversy sparked when it was alleged that Dhoni owned 15% of the shares at Rhiti. This essentially meant that Dhoni could also take a part from the earnings of Raina and Jadeja. Former India cricketer Kirti Azad had claimed that certain documents confirmed the former India skipper’s involvement.  

“Obviously, the documents that have come out indicate that it has been a conflict of interest as far as Dhoni’s involvement with Rhiti Sports is concerned,” Kirti Azad was quoted as saying by The Hindu.

 However, the business later confirmed that the keeper was not a shareholder at the time of the deals and it brought a lot of clarity.
