CSK Denies Dhoni's Stake Bid, Reveals Shareholding

Explore reports on MS Dhoni's interest in CSK shares, his current holdings, and his ongoing influence in coaching decisions. Get the latest updates on the franchise.

Recent reports indicated that Mahendra Singh Dhoni had expressed interest in acquiring a larger stake in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise. However, a senior CSK official has refuted these claims, stating that Dhoni has never discussed such a proposal with the management or Mr. N Srinivasan.

Despite the denied stake bid, Dhoni is confirmed to hold over one lakh shares in CSK, acquired through private transactions as the company is unlisted. These shares constitute a small portion of the public shareholding, with the Srinivasan family maintaining a controlling stake of over 55%.

Dhoni continues to be an influential figure within CSK, even after relinquishing captaincy and missing the previous season. The franchise management is awaiting his return from the US around September 22 to finalize key decisions, notably the selection of a new head coach.
