SP MP Priya Saroj, cricketer Rinku Singh to tie the knot on December 4

Lucknow, Sep 16 (UNI) The wedding date of Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Priya Saroj and Indian cricketer Rinku Singh has been finalised, with the couple set to tie the knot on December 4 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
According to sources, both families have finalised the wedding date and venue after earlier plans were postponed following a personal loss suffered by the Indian batter.
Family members, close relatives and select guests are expected to attend the wedding ceremony.
Rinku Singh, a left-handed batter, is a prominent member of the Indian cricket setup, while Priya Saroj represents the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh as an SP MP.
Their engagement ceremony took place at a hotel in Lucknow on June 8, 2025.
Meanwhile, a report from Jaunpur quoted Priya Saroj's father, Toofani Saroj, confirming on Wednesday that the couple will get married in Lucknow on December 4. Toofani Saroj is a former MP from Machhlishahr and currently serves as the SP MLA from the Kerakat constituency in Jaunpur district.
Rinku Singh shot to national prominence with his stunning five-sixes-in-an-over finish for Kolkata Knight Riders during IPL 2023, a moment that transformed him into one of Indian cricket’s most talked-about young batters. Since then, his rise has continued, with a string of impressive performances for KKR helping him earn a place in the Indian national team.
