With IPL authorities deciding to suspend Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for the next two seasons, there has been a lot of speculation regarding future of players from both teams. None more so than that of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Dhoni also met Srinivasan, in what was described as a "strictly personal" visit. While there has been criticism over Dhoni meeting the controversial former BCCI president, India Cements officials laughed it off saying, "he is also the vice-president of the company. Isn't it natural that he will meet the managing director of the same company, if he is in the city?"
