A nondescript issue of Rs 1,800 dues that Mahendra Singh Dhoni apparently owes to his parent body, the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA), seems to be snowballing into a major controversy. More fuel was added to the fire after some school students and die-hard fans of the legend collected the money, got a draft made of that amount, and tried submitting it to the JSCA.

However, when a group of people, led by former cricketer and activist Shesh Nath Pathak, tried submitting the draft at the JSCA's registered office in Jamshedpur on Saturday, it was not accepted.
