Bangalore, June 3: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has been facing criticism over his silence on IPL spot fixing scandal, landed in a new controversy over his business deal with one sports marketing firm -- Rhiti Sports Management.
The firm, in which Dhoni had bought a 15% stake, was set up by his close friend and business associate Arun Pandey. The firm manages business deals of cricketers including Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Pragyan Ojha and RP Singh.
Now, Dhoni's business deals with the firm have come under scanner following a report published by The Economic Times (ET). The daily in its report raised two questions -- being Team India captain, both One Day International (ODI) and Test cricket, is it right for Dhoni to put his suggestions before team selecting committee?
According to the report, Dhoni did not respond to questionnaire sent to him via mail. Srinivasan has already stepped aside from BCCI's day-to-day activities. His son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was known as CSK owner, is in jail over his alleged role in IPL spot fixing row. Now, it might be a tough time for Dhoni to face upcoming time.
