While Rhiti Sports has said that the Indian captain no longer holds shares in the sports management company, it concedes that he has been a shareholder in the past. Since the firm also manages other players who are Team India regulars and perceived to be close to MS Dhoni, is there a concrete case of conflict of interest?
