What is the MS Dhoni Defamation Case about?

MS Dhoni, one of India's best Test captains, had filed a defamation case almost a decade ago, which is finally set to go to trial after 11 years in the Madras High Court. The defamation case was filed against some of the media houses and journalists, accusing them of falsely linking him to the IPL betting scandal, which led to CSK and RR being banned from the IPL for two seasons.

The case was filed against Zee Media Corporation, journalist Sudhir Chaudhary, retired IPS officer G Sampath Kumar, and News Nation Network. The betting scandal involved many big names, including IPL owners, players, and many others. MS Dhoni was not involved as per the investigation, as all allegations were proven wrong, and many media organisations and journalists commented on him in a way that impacted his public image.

As for MS Dhoni's IPL career, a lot remains hanging by a thread as of now. Dhoni has suffered several fitness setbacks in recent years, especially with the ongoing trouble with his knee. The legendary CSK skipper has neither confirmed his presence nor absence in the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league. There are also speculations around Indian wicketkeeper Sanju Samson joining the Yellow Army next season. It remains to be seen what MS Dhoni decides for his future and if he confirms his playing status in the tournament.
