CSK Denies MS Dhoni's Stake Demand, Future IPL 2027 Participation Uncertain
Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan denied rumors that MS Dhoni demanded a significant stake in the franchise, calling such reports baseless.

CSK expressed willingness to retain Dhoni in any role, including player or mentor, respecting his decision timeline amid his injury-related absence in 2026.
