The former Indian and Chennai Super Kings’ captain, MS Dhoni, is going to record his statement after the Madras High Court ordered trial in his INR 100 crore defamation case, which was filed by the former wicket-keeper batter against two prominent media channels and a journalist, who dragged his name in the IPL betting scandal of the 2013 season of the league.
Justice CV Karthikeyan appointed an advocated commissioner, who will record all the evidences on the behalf of MS Dhoni. On the account of the 43-year-old former India batter being the celebrity and a notable figure across the world, his presence in person for the examination cold lead to the chaos. That’s why the two-time World Cup-winner will not appear in the court in person.

The reports of the Hindustan Times have addressed that the senior counsel, PR Raman, submitted an affidavit from the former Indian captain, which wanted the start of trial which had now been pending for a decade as both parties seek relief over the years.

I state that I shall extend my full co-operation with the Advocate Commissioner and comply with all directions issued by this Honourable court regarding the trial and the recording of evidence.” The affidavit read.
