Suresh Raina blessed with a baby girl

Indian cricketer Suresh Raina became a father as his wife gave birth to a baby girl at a private hospital in Amsterdam on Sunday.

Named 'Gracia' by the proud new parents, the delivery was recorded at 2 p.m. local time.

The 29-year-old Raina, who is captaining Gujarat Lions in the ongoing IPL, had jetted to the Netherlands on May 10 to be with his wife, Priyanka. In doing so, Raina missed his first IPL match - against Royal Challengers Bangalore - in nine years.

Raina had married Priyanka, an IT professional with a bank in Amsterdam, in April 2016.
