Rinku Singh, 27, the Indian cricketer, has reportedly got engaged with the Samajwadi Party MP from Machhlishahr, Priya Saroj, and the social media platform X has gone abuzz despite no confirmation about the news from either of the two. The engagement ceremony was a private event according to multiple reports, while the fans are now eagerly awaiting the announcement of their wedding date since the news went viral online earlier today.
Over the past couple of years, Rinku Singh has ascended to stardom in the world of cricket after his splendid performances for his long-time IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders as well as the Indian cricket team. After becoming a regular feature in the KKR playing XI during the 2023 season of the IPL, Rinku Singh managed to make his debut for India later that year in the ODI and T20I format, and since then, his performances have been quite exemplary for the national team.
Rinku Singh is slated to play competitive cricket for India later this month during T20I series vs England
His rumoured partner Priya Saroj, who is 26 years of age, won the Lok Sabha seat from Machhlishahr during the 2024 Indian general elections, becoming one of the youngest MPs in the history of politics in India. If the news of Rinku Singh’s engagement with Priya Saroj turns out to be true, then these two will surely qualify to be a power couple in the Indian sporting and political scene, which isn’t a new thing either.
Moreover, Rinku Singh is slated to play competitive cricket for India later this month during a five-match T20I series at home against England, which will begin with the first match in Kolkata on January 22.
Below is the Indian T20I squad for home series against England:
Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (vc), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wk)
