M.S Dhoni has Recently Floated a Company Rhiti Motorsports as a joint venture with his friend arun Pandey who owns Rhiti sports management .Rhiti Sports holds majority stake in the company, while Telugu actor Nagarjuna and Nandish Domlur, a doctor, are the other investors in the venture. Details of the shareholding pattern were not available.

Arun Pandey- Profile : Arun Pandey, a national-level cricketer once, has been a friend of Indian captain M S Dhoni from his early playing days. They first got to know each other 13 years ago when Pandey was bowling to Dhoni at the nets. As Dhoni moved up as a cricketer and became a key player for India, he encouraged Pandey to get into sports marketing and let him cut a few deals for him. Pandey is like a family member of Dhoni. Pandey, 34, founded Rhiti Sports in 2007. In July last year, Rhiti grabbed headlines when it bagged Dhoni's endorsements and brand associations, corporate profile, patents and digital rights, images, visibility on social networking sites and merchandise, on a minimum guarantee of Rs 210 crore for three years.

The change of name from MSD to Mahi Racing was prompted by practical reasons as Europe the hub of racing are not aware of the cricket superstarÃÔ acronym, according to Amit Sandil, director and principal of the team. Sandil also rubbished rumours that the earlier name of MSD was a common acronym for M.S.Dhoni and M. Sai Deep, a former international bike racer from Andhra Pradesh. The grapevine had it that the racing team was the brainchild of Sai Deep, who is also part of the team management. But Sandil has denied this. Ū can confirm that Dhoni is one of the four directors of the team and R-N stands for Rhiti Sports (DhoniÃÔ management firm) and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna. Dhoni couldnÃÕ come to see the races this season owing to his packed schedule, but heÃÔ keeping track of all the developments. He will be there at the 2013 season opener to be held at Philip Island (Australia) if itÃÔ not clashing with his cricket duties, he said.

Rhiti Sports,Mindscapes Manages- Harbhajan Singh,Dhoni,R.P Singh,Suresh Raina,Ravindra Jadeja,Piyush chawla ,ojha,Muruli Vijay,

So is it ethical for a playing captain of a cricket team to have be in a joint venture with a company managing players and may even get economical benefit with a company . Also rhiti sports handles sponserships of CSK.:hysterical: Edit-R.P Singh and Harbhajan Sigh have left Rhiti sports as Of May 2013 and they will not be part of indian team.

[ganeshran]

I dont believe in conspiracy theories but this is certainly a conflict of interest if he has a stake in Rhiti or means to profit from its earnings. If, the captain who has got a say in the team selection also owns a sports management firm which manages few players, one of whom was inexplicably recalled to the side, questions will be raised.

M.S. DhoniÃÔ penchant for speed saw him venture into international motorsport and now IndiaÃÔ cricket captain is ready to zoom ahead by launching a bike racing school in the country. The announcement is expected at the official unveiling of DhoniÃÔ motorsport venture, Mahi Racing Team India (earlier known as MSD R-N Racing), in Mumbai next week. The racing school is likely to be based in the south as Chennai and Coimbatore boast of affordable race circuits. The change of name from MSD to Mahi Racing was prompted by practical reasons as Europe the hub of racing are not aware of the cricket superstarÃÔ acronym, according to Amit Sandil, director and principal of the team. Sandil also rubbished rumours that the earlier name of MSD was a common acronym for M.S.Dhoni and M. Sai Deep, a former international bike racer from Andhra Pradesh. The grapevine had it that the racing team was the brainchild of Sai Deep, who is also part of the team management. But Sandil has denied this. I can confirm that Dhoni is one of the four directors of the team and R-N stands for Rhiti Sports (Dhonimanagement firm) and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna. Dhoni couldnÃÕ come to see the races this season owing to his packed schedule, but heÃÔ keeping track of all the developments. He will be there at the 2013 season opener to be held at Philip Island (Australia) if itÃÔ not clashing with his cricket duties, he said. Bolstered by their new high-profile signings, Mahi Racing will be gunning for the championship when they compete in their first full season at the 2013 World Superbike Championship (Super sport category). Å¢s a factory team of Kawasaki, we have roped in three-time champion Kenan Sofuoglu and Fabien Foret (who finished fourth). Having signed champion riders, expectations are going to be really high and winning the title is our target. We are also excited about racing at the Buddh International Circuit where the second round of the championship is scheduled for March 10, he added. Sandil said Turkish rider Sofuoglu, the reigning champ, and Frenchman Foret will also be involved with the racing school. The new riders will be testing the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R during the official winter testing.

Chawla is managed by mindscapesrhiti which also owns dhoni ,ojha,rohit sharma,bhajji,r.p singh. Even jadeja selection on basis of 2 triple hundreds on flat tracks against poor attacks has taken him ahead of guys likes of tiwary who have done well for 2 years.

The whole Indian team, especially the seniors and the junior "stars" are tied up in commercial deals. It will be too naive of us, if we think that these interests dont have any clout with BCCI or selectors. That is why even when we lose match after match, the team remains unchanged and that is why people who struggle to reach double figures in most innings continue to "enjoy" their cricket. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

Then you should have mention, one rhiti guy goes and two come :winky:. My comment was for Jadeja's inclusion. I myself wouldn't have selected Jadeja but attributing his selection completely to partisanship is not fair. He had put up a strong case for himself.

Its in this 50-50 cases people get benefit .Why tiwary who was in the squad and has consistent dometic performances is not given a chance .Allthough selection of chawla defies all logic.
