Lucknow, June 8 (Taaza Wire)

In a romantic confluence of politics and sports, Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj became engaged on Sunday in a dazzling ceremony at a five-star hotel in Lucknow. The function was a sweet mix of two powerful spheres — cricket and Indian politics — attracting high-ranking officials and followers into party mode.

A Grand Affair in the Heart of Uttar Pradesh

The event was hosted in a luxury hotel in the state capital of Uttar Pradesh and became a red-carpet affair with top political leaders and sportspersons gracing the occasion. Among the dignitaries who attended the event were SP leader Akhilesh Yadav and his wife MP Dimple Yadav, who wished the newly engaged couple from the bottom of their hearts.

Also present were Rajya Sabha MP and cricket official Rajeev Shukla, veteran actress and MP Jaya Bachchan, and prominent SP leaders Shivpal Yadav and Rajgopal Yadav. Bringing the sporty touch to the event was Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who attended to show his support for his teammate.

Addressing scribes after the event, SP MP Awadhesh Prasad remarked, “I have come to offer my blessings to the couple. I wish that they lead a happy life.”

Who is Rinku Singh?

Rinku Singh, now one of India’s young sensations in cricket, became a national sensation after his performances with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL. With his explosive hitting and finisher skills, Rinku has established himself as one of the most talented young cricketers in India.

In the 2025 Indian Premier League season, Rinku played steady cricket and was a key performer for KKR. Through his humility and hard work, the Uttar Pradesh cricketer won the hearts of fans and fellow cricketers.

Who is Priya Saroj?

Priya Saroj is no ordinary political debutante — she is the newly minted Member of Parliament of Machhlishahr, Uttar Pradesh. She ran on a Samajwadi Party ticket in the general elections of 2024 and won, thus entering the Lok Sabha.

Late SP chief Toofani Saroj’s daughter Priya is a young and dynamic face in Indian politics, and her marriage to Rinku Singh has now also brought her political and social limelight.

Sports Meets Sansad: A Power Couple in the Making

Rinku and Priya’s interaction is symbolic of the unification of India’s two biggest passions — politics and cricket. While Rinku embodies the modern Indian youth spirit on the pitch, Priya represents the voice of a new generation of politicians who want to change things.

Party workers and followers have been posting congratulatory messages on social media platforms, making the two a top topic on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

Wishes Pour In

Akhilesh Yadav and Dimple Yadav were spotted warmly welcoming the couple and exchanging light moments at the celebration. Jaya Bachchan, in her own elegance, also exchanged blessings and congratulations for Priya Saroj’s grace and humility.

Even cricketers have turned to social media to wish Rinku congratulations. The marriage is a new beginning in his life away from the field, even as the fans wait for him to record the next cricketing feat.
