Former chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Lalit Modi leaked the employment offer letter of former India captain MS Dhoni on Instagram on Monday. Sharing the employment letter, he questioned the motive behind such employment considering the fact that Dhoni earns approximately Rs.100 crore in a year.
 
“?It seems only in #india#contempt after contempt continues by the #old #guards of @bcci - How ? My best guess is #northblock. But most #puzzling is this #employment #contract of #MSD - WHY ? he earns 100’s of crores a year will he #agree to be #SRINI’S #employee. bet there are many such contracts,” he wrote on the Instagram post.
