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.
