In the world of cricket there exist all kinds of rumours. A famous one back in the day was whether Sanath Jayasuriya had a spring attached inside the willow he used during the ICC 1996 World Cup, an event
where he truly made a mockery of the best bowlers from around the world as he continued to rise in stature as a batter and key performer for his then Sri Lankan side. However, it was just a rumour.
Then, there’s been a recent rumour where many in Indian cricket did actually feel that none other than MS Dhoni himself went to the CSK team owners to demand no fewer than a 25 percent stake in the very outfit.
However, just a week ago, around September 12, the same was reported by many an Indian publication as being nothing other than some ungodly rumour. And now, just days after it is being said that he’s not only being considered and running in full swing to become the newest coach of the famed Chennai Super Kings outfit but might actually be given a 25 percent or even higher stake than that.

Regardless it is a team for which he has done a lot and done so considerably that it has become a cult in the last few years. We have to remember that it was only for that one or season where Dhoni start for Pune, but before that and ever since he has remained with the Chennai Super Kings, thus becoming a long-term loyalist, besides being an outstanding for a captain and a batter who contributed useful and precious runs every time the team was under pressure.
Should actually be made coach and given a steak in the side. It’s going to be the kind of development that many will like and will not have any objection to given the fact that the two which is the franchise and the Cricketer go a long way and have, hence forged a dependable and committed partnership over all these years.
