New Delhi: Veteran India batsman Suresh Raina and his wife Priyanka on Monday welcomed a new member in their family. The couple has become parents for the second time as they were blessed with a baby boy, Rio.

“The beginning of all things – wonder, hope, possibilities and a better world! We are proud to welcome our son & Gracia’s little brother - Rio Raina. May he flows beyond boundaries, bringing peace, renewal & prosperity to everyone’s life,” Raina said in a tweet posting a picture of his new born baby.

Their daughter Gracia was born in May 2016.

Raina’s Indian Premier League franchise, Chennai Super Kings, also welcomed the news with a tweet saying: “Hello Rio.”

The left-handed batsman is the second highest run-getter in the IPL behind India captain Virat Kohli with 5,368 runs in his kitty from 193 matches.

“It’s very important that we understand the need of social isolation to break the chain, don’t spread information from unreliable sources, don’t ignore the health advisories & for sure follow the hygiene measures.#coronavirus” he tweeted. IANS
