There is social media post claiming CSK CEO offered MS Dhoni ₹20 crore (or ₹25 crore) to leave CSK.
This rumor started from viral posts on Facebook and X (Twitter). Some fan pages shared it with no evidence. However, these are not reliable sources.
There is no report in any reputable sports media or news outlet.
Neither CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan, CSK management, nor BCCI has made any statement about such an offer. It’s completely unverified.
Dhoni himself has said he is undecided about playing IPL 2026. He mentioned he will take time till December 2025 to make a decision, considering his knee issues.
There is no mention of any ₹20 crore offer or pressure from CSK. This news is 100% false. It’s a baseless rumor from social media, not supported by any official or credible source.
