Suresh Raina opens up on his blissful marriage and how he met love of his life
The UAE leg of IPL 2021 is all set to commence from September 19 wherein the opening clash will take place between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Ahead of the beginning of the Indian T20 league, CSK have come up with a mini-series called ‘Super Couple’ wherein Suresh Raina and his wife Priyanka Chaudhary Raina came up as first guests.
The show interviews cricketers and their better halves on various aspects of life. In the same chat, Raina opened up about his six years of marriage with Priyanka and how they met for the first time. Talking about his first meeting with his wife, Raina added that Priyanka used to come to his home on various occasions as cricketer’s elder brother used to teach him. However, Raina went to boarding school later.
The story further developed when Raina was once coming back from Australia in 2008 and met Priyanka at the airport. It was since this time that their relationship turned into a marriage and now the couple is blessed with one daughter and son, named Gracia and Rio, respectively. While the interview was on, Priyanka silently listened to Raina and maintained a subtle smile on her face. Later, even she went on to say that how blessed she is to have such a great family.
Priyanka calls Suresh Raina a ‘great husband and father’
Raina’s wife told that the last six years have been blissful for the couple where they welcomed their second child last year only. As both of them belong to different backgrounds, she added that initially, it was a little difficult for them to get along with each other. Priyanka concluded by adding that Raina might be one of the best finishers in Indian cricket but for her, he is a ‘great husband and father.’
It has to be noted that Raina pulled out of the 2020 season of the IPL due to some personal reasons but returned for the 2021 season. He has scored 123 runs for the yellow army in the Indian leg of IPL and will be seen flaunting his class in the UAE leg now.
