India’s star cricketer Suresh Raina tied the nuptial knot with fiancee Priyanka in a private ceremony attended only by family members and close friends, at a posh hotel in New Delhi on Friday.
The ceremony was attended by among others, ICC Chairperson N Srinivasan and India and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The wedding was graced by heavyweight politicians and big names from the entertainment world, besides fellow cricketers including Dwayne Bravo, Michael Hussey and CSK coach Stephen Fleming.
The 28-year-old Raina and Priyanka, who is presently working in The Netherlands, have been friends since childhood. Their families have been closely associated for a long time. Priyanka's father was reportedly Raina's sports teacher in Ghaziabad.
India’s Test captain Virat Kohli and his actress girlfriend Anushka Sharma had attended the couple's engagement ceremony on Wednesday.
Middle-order batsman Raina returned to the country with his India teammates after the semi-final loss to Australia in the World Cup last week.
Raina is contracted with the Chennai Super Kings, who are scheduled to kick-start their campaign in the eighth edition of the Indian Premier League on April 9.
