Cricket, connections & courtship: How Rinku Singh met SP MP Priya Saroj
LUCKNOW: Cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj first crossed paths through one of Priya's friend's father, who is also a cricketer. The connection eventually blossomed into a relationship, supported by both families. According to Priya's father, Tufani Saroj, SP MLA from Kerakat in Jaunpur, the two had known each other for some time before formally announcing their intent to marry. The couple's engagement is scheduled for June 8 in Lucknow, followed by a wedding ceremony on November 18 at Hotel Taj in Varanasi (Kashi). Confirming the dates, Tufani Saroj said on Sunday that preparations are already underway to host grand celebrations. Prominent political leaders, especially from the Samajwadi Party, along with cricket stars, film personalities, and industrialists are expected to attend the events. In January, Tufani Saroj publicly announced the upcoming marriage between his daughter and the T20 cricket sensation after the two families held initial discussions to formalise the alliance. Like Rinku, who rose to fame by smashing five sixes in the final over during an IPL 2023 match against Gujarat Titans—completing the highest-ever last-over chase of 29 runs for Kolkata Knight Riders—Priya too had a spectacular rise. She became one of the youngest parliamentarians in the country by winning the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Machhlishahr (reserved), a constituency previously represented three times by her father before he shifted to contest from the Kerakat assembly seat in 2022. With Rinku focusing on the T20 series against England and the IPL, and Priya involved in her political campaign, both families agreed to decide the wedding dates only after the couple could sit together post-elections and tournaments. Now, with the dates set, the families are preparing to celebrate the union of two rising stars in cricket and politics.

Indian Cricketer Rinku Singh To Get Engaged To Politician Priya Saroj On June 8
Indian cricketer Rinku Singh is all set to get engaged to Samajwadi Party politician Priya Saroj. With Rinku's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) already over, the batter can focus on some important developments of his personal life. It has been learned that Rinku and Priya will hold an engagement ceremony on June 08 in a hotel in Lucknow. Rumours of Rinku and Priya already being engaged were going viral on social media when the news of them wanting to marry each other first broke. But, it has now been learned that the official engagement ceremony will be held this month. A few months ago, Priya's father, Tufani Saroj had made the relationship status of the two clear. Tufani, who's also a sitting MLA from the Samajwadi Party, spoke to ANI and said that both Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj sought their parents' permission. He also confirmed that the engagement has not taken place yet, and only the initial talks have taken place. View this post on Instagram A post shared by PRIYA SAROJ (@ipriyasarojmp) "Both the children have expressed their desire to get married and have sought our permission for the same. The engagement has not taken place yet. Initial talks have taken place in this regard," Tufani Saroj had told ANI. Rinku had quite an ordinary IPL 2025 campaign with KKR, scoring 206 runs at an average of 29.42 and a strike-rate of 153.73. The Knight Riders had a forgettable season that saw them finish eighth in the table with 12 points and a net run rate of -0.305, winning just 5 out of 14 matches. Rinku is also an important member of India's T20I side. In 30 T20I matches and 22 innings, Rinku has scored 507 runs at an average of 46.09 and a strike rate of 165.14, with three half-centuries. He's yet to smash his maiden T20I century. The 27-year-old made his T20I debut against Ireland in 2023. Rinku has featured in two ODIs for India and holds pretty impressive List-A numbers. The southpaw has garnered 1,899 runs in 52 innings, averaging 48.69 while striking at 94.8. His excellent numbers include one hundred and 17 half-centuries.
