Kapil Sharma then decided to tease the couple with a question on Rio’s birth.

Suresh Raina announced his retirement from international cricket on the same day as MS Dhoni did on August 15, 2020. MS Dhoni brought an end to his 16-year playing career internationally as he made an announcement on Instagram with a montage of his photos and with the backdrop of the song ‘Main Pal do Pal ka Shayar hoon’ from the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Kabhie Kabhie. At the same time, Suresh Raina also announced that he too would be retiring from international cricket, having last played for India a couple of years.
