Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni share an impressive bond on and off the field since they started playing together for India and Chennai Super Kings. While CSK captain Dhoni is known as 'Thala,' his former deputy Raina is known as 'Chinna Thala' among cricket fans. While Raina has retired from all forms of cricket, Dhoni remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Besides sharing a brotherly bond with the former Indian captain, Raina is also a huge fan of Dhoni. The all-rounder, who has always made his fans jealous with his deep camaraderie with the legendary cricketer, did the same by framing a couple of pictures at his new restaurant. An image of MS Dhoni's and Suresh Raina's CSK jerseys framed in the latter's Amsterdam restaurant has gone viral on social media.

I want to bring the most authentic and genuine flavours of India: Suresh Raina
Apart from his love for cricket, Raina is also a foodie and last month decided to open an Indian restaurant in the heart of the capital of the Netherlands. Announcing the launch of his new venture, the 36-year-old said he wanted to showcase the diverse flavors of India with the most authentic and original flavors from different parts of the country.
“I am absolutely ecstatic to introduce Raina Indian Restaurant in Amsterdam, where my passion for food and cooking takes center stage! Over the years, you’ve seen my love for food and witnessed my culinary adventures, and now, I am on a mission to bring the most authentic and genuine flavours from different parts of India straight to Europe’s heart," said Raina.
“Join me on this extraordinary gastronomic journey as we embark on a flavoursome adventure together. Stay tuned for tantalizing updates, sneak peeks of our mouthwatering creations, and the grand unveiling of Raina Indian Restaurant!” he added.
Meanwhile, Riana is set to take part in the inaugural edition of the US Masters T10 League. The middle-order batter will be representing California Knights in the 10-over tournament. Former Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan are also participating the league.
