Even as preparations for the wedding were under way in Delhi and Ghaziabad, Raina was busy training with the Super Kings in Chennai. Raina, who is the leading run-scorer in the IPL with 3325 runs, flew into Delhi only hours before the ceremony. (Suresh Raina reveals mum's role in fixing important innings of his life)

CSK are scheduled to play their first Indian Premier League match next week on April 9. That leaves no time for a honeymoon and Raina is learnt to have postponed those plans after IPL.
Priyanka's family has been close friends with the Raina's for a long time now. Her father was reportedly Suresh Raina's sports teacher in Ghaziabad. The bride-to-be works in the Netherlands.
