Two ex-business partners of former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni have filed a case of defamation against the CSK skipper in the Delhi High Court. According to the report by PTI, Mihir Diwakar and his wife, Soumya Das, former business partners of MSD, have filed this defamation case.? Dhoni had previously filed a criminal case against both of them for scamming him around 15 crore rupees.



The couple has now approached the high court, seeking a permanent injunction and damages against Dhoni, several social media platforms, and media outlets. According to PTI, they have requested that they refrain from producing, publishing, or spreading defamatory, false, and harmful allegations about them.



The defamation case against Dhoni will be heard on January 18 before a bench led by Justice Prathiba M. Singh. In their appeal, MSD's former business partner has sought the court to prohibit him from hurting their reputation over the "false charges" allegedly made by MSD pertaining to putative unlawful earnings of 15 crore rupees and breach of a 2017 contract.



Dhoni had filed a lawsuit against Soumya Das and Diwakar, who are directors of ?Aarka Sports', a sports management company, in a lower court in Ranchi. According to MS Dhoni's lawyer, Dayanand Singh, the two had approached MSD to build cricket academies in his name in India and in foreign countries. The 42-year-old was going to receive the full franchise fee, and the profits were going to be shared in a ratio of 70:30 between MSD and the husband-wife duo of Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das. But later on, the two began setting up academies without letting Dhoni know and did not make any payments to him, the lawyer for MSD said.



The former cricketer had unsuccessfully served the two with legal notices. Dhoni's lawyer informed the media and said, ?On August 15, 2021, MS Dhoni withdrew his authority. They nonetheless went ahead and established academies in perhaps eight or ten different places.We twice sent them legal notice for breaking the terms of the agreement. They defrauded MS Dhoni of about ?15 crore.



In accordance with Sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), a criminal case was filed against Mihir and Soumya on the 27th of October last year. Simant Lohani recorded the former cricketer?s testimony in front of the first-class judicial magistrate court on Friday with Dhoni's approval, according to PTI.



Mihir and Soumya were friends of MS Dhoni, and the former even played with the 42-year-old in India?s domestic competition, the Ranji Trophy.

Former business partner's of MS Dhoni file a defamation case against him

CSK's MS Dhoni has once again kept an enigma around him and his decision relating to his retirement from all forms of cricket. Although, Dhoni hasn't himself announced anything yet, fans and experts fear that this will be his last swan-song in the IPL and he will no longer be seen in the same capacity in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).



The cricket experts are engaged in the same sort of discussions as well as to whether this was MS Dhoni's last swan song or if will he come back in the IPL 2025. 



Former Australian cricketer and renowned commentator, Matthew Hayden believes that the universe has seen the last of MS Dhoni in the yellow jersey as a player and he will no longer be in the same capacity in the side. However, he added that Dhoni could be roped into side the side as a mentor.



MS Dhoni's last IPL game, possibly, came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The wicketkeeper batter scored 25 runs from 13 deliveries in the game and gave some hope to his team, but his side fell 27 runs short of the target.



?I think this is it. I do believe that this will be the last time that Dhoni will play. Certainly, won?t be the last time that we see Dhoni. I?d be very surprised if he doesn?t mentor or be a part of the family of CSK in an official capacity,? said Hayden on Star Sports Cricket Live.



Hayden, who has shared a cricket pitch alongside MS Dhoni, talked about the legacy which MS Dhoni has kept as the leader of the team for so many years.



?I suppose the thing is when you come to the end of your career, whether it is the last part of his career or not, what you don?t want to see is diminishing returns as an athlete. Firstly, as a leader, he is The Thala of the Chennai Super Kings. This is telling me that nothing here is about becoming anything else other than first place," he added.



Dhoni smashed 14 fours and 13 sixes during the IPL 2024 as he scored 161 runs at an impressive average of 53.66. In the final game against RCB, a few nights ago, Dhoni contributed with three boundaries and a six to take his side close to the total.



?He?s desperately using his brains, all of that cricket knowledge. And of course, the power is there and that?s always been MS Dhoni. He?s always hit balls at this stage of an innings. At the front, you can understand how players can hit it. But at the back, it?s really hard to hit balls,? Hayden added.



Interestingly, MS Dhoni has kept an enigma around him and his decisions. He has never been so outspoken when it came to inform about his future plans. His international retirement came as a shocker when he put out a social media post captioning, "Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired."



During the previous editions of the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a>, Dhoni used to be in the pre and post-match presentations and the broadcasters had the luxury to throw at him the question of his retirement, however, this time he had left the leadership prior to the start of the IPL season.



It remains to be seen what comes as a surprise from MS Dhoni shortly. It's very unlikely for MS to continue given his age and the muscle injury which he was carrying.

CSK's MS Dhoni likely to be part of the IPL 2025, but in a different role, reckons Matthew Hayden

The legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to take part in the 18 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Indian fans will once again get the opportunity to witness him play in the Yellow jersey once again. 
He got retained by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a price tag of 4 crore Indian Rupees and fans cannot wait to see him play in the IPL again. 
While he had a good IPL 2024, managing to score 161 runs in 14 games at a really good average of 53.67 at a monstrous strike-rate of 220.55, his exploits weren't enough to help the Chennai based team lift the IPL trophy for a record 6th time. 
Many also believe that the upcoming edition of the IPL is going to be the final season of MSD and it will indeed be a really emotional moment for Cricket fans across the globe. 
Ahead of IPL 2025, the 43-year-old is close to creating history as he has a chance of breaking three magnificent records in the 18th season of the tournament. Let's take a look at them
<h2>Chance to become the oldest player to score a half-century in the IPL</h2>
MSD is currently 43-years-old. To be precise, 43 years and 194 days old. If the former CSK skipper slams a fifty in the upcoming season of the IPL, then he will become the oldest player ever to slam a fifty in the history of the tournament. 
The legendary Adam Gilchristun who played an amazing beaten knock of 85* runs versus the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2013 currently holds the record of being the oldest player ever in the tournament's history to score a fifty. 
Dhoni is at the 2nd position in this list, having slammed a fifty at the age of 40 years and 262 days old versus the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022.
<h2>Chance of becoming the highest run getter for CSK in the IPL</h2>
Dhoni is on the verge of becoming the highest run getter for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the history of the IPL. Currently, Suresh Raina holds that record, having amassed a total of 4,687 runs for the franchise. MSD though needs just 18 runs to break this record. It's worth noting that the former skipper of the franchise had already managed to score 4,669 runs for the Yellow Army. 
<h2>Dhoni has a chance to become the only player to effect 200 dismissals as a wicketkeeper in the IPL</h2>
The Legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni so far in IPL career has effected 190 dismissals as a wicketkeeper. He is at top of the list of the wicketkeepers to have effected the highest number of dismissals in the history of the competition. If he manages to dismiss 10 batters from behind the stumps, he will become the first player to achieve this feat in the IPL. Currently, among the wicketkeepers playing in the IPL, Rishabh Pant has dismissed 90 batters from behind the stumps. Thus, if Dhoni dismisses 10 more batters from behind the stumps, he will likely be the only wicketkeeper to achieve this feat.
