The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star and wife Priyanka were blessed with their second child last month. The couple also has a daughter, Gracia, who was born in 2016. Raina is getting to spend some time with his family as almost all sporting activities around the world have been suspended for now.
Earlier, Raina, along with his CSK teammates, was busy sweating it out in the practice sessions ahead of the 13th edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL). However, Raina and his teammates including CSK skipper MS Dhoni returned home as soon as it was announced that the tournament was going to be postponed.
The tournament stands postponed indefinitely as the COVID-19 pandemic is showing no signs of subsiding anytime soon.
