Suresh Raina is all set for the biggest innings of his life and will marry childhood friend Priyanka Chaudhary at a seven-star hotel in New Delhi. While it is believed that the event would be a closed-knit occasion, the entire Indian national cricket team -- including captain MS Dhoni -- are expected to be present. Prime Minster Narendra Modi has also sent his good wishes.
A media report has quoted sources close to the family as saying that Raina's Indian teammates have been invited with their respective families.
"The entire Indian team including Dhoni and Virat Kohli have been invited for the wedding. We hope to see many of them, including Dhoni with his wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva, Kohli with his girl-friend
(Anushka Sharma) to attend the function", said the source.
While Anushka has been with Kohli in Delhi for a few days now, other celebrities are also expected at the event. A VVIP security cordon has been thrown around the wedding venue with even Prime Minister Narendra Modi being sent an invite.
"Raina has received a letter of blessings from our honourable Prime Minister. The invitation was sent to the Prime Minister as Raina was nominated by Mr Modi for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan," family sources said.
