Not managed by Rhiti: RP Singh

Pacer Rudra Pratap Singh on Monday (June 3) denied being managed by Rhiti Sports, the firm in which Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a 15 per cent stake, raising
questions of a possible conflict of interest. 

A newspaper on Monday reported that Dhoni has a 15 per cent stake in the company, which, the report claimed, manages RP Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Pragyan Ojha. 

"Don't know what exactly is running in the news, but just to clarify I am not with Rhiti Sports," tweeted R.P. Singh after the report came out. 

R.P. Singh has played 14 Tests and 58 ODIs for India. He has taken 40 wickets in the longer format and has 69 scalps in one-dayers. 

He has been out of favour for some time and has not played a Test or ODI since 2011. 

Rhiti Sports is owned by Arun Pandey, a close friend of Dhoni. In 2010, Dhoni signed up with Rhiti reportedly for Rs 210 crore, an average of Rs 70 crore a year, the costliest deal in Indian cricket.
