Rinku Singh to get engaged with Priya Saroj on June 8: Reports

On Sunday, June 8, Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Priya Saroj and Indian cricketer Rinku Singh are set to tie the knot. The location of the ring ceremony is a hotel in Lucknow. After helping the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) miss out on the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Rinku will begin a new chapter in his life.

With a strike rate of 153.73 and an average of 29.42, Rinku amassed 206 runs in 13 games, with a high score of 153.73. The Knight Riders won five of their fourteen games, putting them in eighth place in the standings with 12 points and a net run rate of -0.305. The father of Priya Saroj and the SP MLA from Kerakat, Tufani Saroj, stated back in January that his family had "meaningful discussions" about a possible marriage between their daughter and Rinku Singh's father in Aligarh.

He claims that both families agreed on the partnership. Additionally, according to Tufani, Priya and Rinku met through a common acquaintance whose father plays cricket. "Rinku and Priya have known each other for more than a year now. They both liked each other but needed their families' consent for the relationship. Both families have agreed to this marriage," he said.
