Pathankot: Former Indian cricketer, Suresh Raina’s uncle was killed while four other relatives were critically injured in a brutal attack in Pathankot’s Thariyal village, as per reports.

Ashok Kumar’s 80-year-old mother Satya Devi also sustained serious injuries with Raina’s cousins — 32-year-old Kaushal Kumar and 24-year-old Apin Kumar also sustaining injuries.

While the cricketer is yet to give any statement regarding the matter, but it is going to be hard for the Yellow Army to find his replacement. Chennai Super Kings already have plenty of members tested positive for COVID 19.
