India cricketer Rinku Singh to marry Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj

New Delhi: Indian cricket star Rinku Singh is all set to marry Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Priya Saroj, as confirmed by her family. Priya’s father, Tufani Saroj, an SP MLA from Kerakat, revealed that on January 16, meaningful discussions took place between Rinku’s father and their family in Aligarh, leading to mutual agreement on the marriage.

Tufani Saroj told PTI that no ring ceremony or pre-wedding events have been held yet. He explained that Priya met Rinku Singh through a mutual friend, whose father is also a cricketer. “Rinku and Priya have known each other for over a year, and they both liked each other. However, they needed their families’ approval, which both families have now granted for the marriage,” he added.

Saroj’s father confirmed that the dates for the engagement and wedding will be finalized after the Parliament session, with the engagement planned to take place in Lucknow. Rinku Singh gained widespread recognition during IPL 2023 when he hit Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal for five sixes in an over, leading KKR to a thrilling last-over victory. He was also part of the KKR squad that won IPL 2024 and has since become a regular member of India’s T20I team.
