Former Indian cricketer, Suresh Raina is regarded as one of the best fielders in international cricket. The left-handed middle order batsman had gotten married to his childhood friend, Priyanka Chaudhary. They were friends since childhood but when Priyanka’s parents had shifted to Punjab, the two had lost touch. It was on April 3, 2015, when Suresh and Priyanka had tied the knot and had become each other’s forever. After a year, the lovely couple had welcomed a little angel into their lives, whom they have lovingly named Gracia Raina. And in 2020 their family of three had turned into four with the arrival of their baby boy, Rio.
