In what seems to be a piece of delightful news off the field for Indian cricket fans, the star Indian cricketer Rinku Singh got engaged to Uttar Pradesh’s youngest Member of Parliament Priya Saroj. The media reports also learn that the duo will tie the knot very soon.
Notably, Samajwadi Party’s young politician Priya Saroj became the youngest member of parliament to be elected to Lok Sabha. During the general elections of June 2024, she defeated BJP’s BP Saroj by a margin of 35850 to get elected as a Member of Parliament from UP’s Machhlishahr constituency.
Rinku Singh was recently in action for Uttar Pradesh in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, in which he made his last appearance against Vidarbha earlier this year on January 3 in Viziangaram.
