Indian cricketer and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Rinku Singh has reportedly got engaged to Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj. Neither Rinku Singh nor Priya Saroj has confirmed the news, but multiple reports suggest that the two are now engaged. Known for maintaining a low profile, Rinku Singh’s private life has rarely been in the spotlight, making this news a surprising revelation for his fans.
The couple has not yet announced a wedding date, but it is rumored that the marriage might occur later this year.
Who Is Priya Saroj?
Priya Saroj is Rinku Singh’s fiancée, who is a lawyer and a popular political personality connected with the Samajwadi Party. She is the daughter of Tufani Saroj, who is a three-time MP and present MLA from Uttar Pradesh. Priya Saroj was elected as a Member of Parliament from the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in the 2024 General Elections. She is a graduate of Delhi University, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, and is known for her active political involvement and legal acumen.
Rinku Singh and His Journey to Stardom
Rinku Singh, therefore, got mass recognition in the 2023 Indian Premier League season, courtesy of hitting five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal at a time of a thriller when Kolkata Knight Riders were batting against Gujarat Titans. That fantastic effort not only stabilized his image within the IPL, but it helped him gain his first appearance with India’s T20I side.
Ever since, Rinku has remained one of the stars of Indian cricket in T20Is. In preparation for the IPL 2025 mega auction, KKR retained the young batsman so that he will remain a part of the franchise’s setup for the season.
Rinku Singh will be in action again when India hosts England for a five-match T20I series starting from January 22.
