Kolkata Knight Riders’ star Rinku Singh is set to marry Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj later this year. Singh’s cricketing career is marked by a dramatic rise, highlighted by his performance against Gujarat Titans in 2023 where he hit 5 sixes in an over. Earlier, in 2019, the BCCI suspended him for three months for playing in an unsanctioned T20 tournament in Abu Dhabi without approval, leading to his withdrawal from the India A team. The BCCI’s rules clearly state that players cannot participate in overseas tournaments without the board’s permission.
Singh’s IPL journey saw him start with Punjab Kings before becoming a crucial member of the Kolkata Knight Riders. He has played in 2 ODIs, scoring 55 runs with an average of 27.50. In the IPL 2025 auction, KKR secured him for Rs 13.00 Cr. His final IPL game was on May 5, 2025, against SRH, where he scored 9 runs. Priya Saroj, the bride-to-be, is a young MP representing Machhlishahr in Uttar Pradesh, entering politics after her father, Tufani Saroj, and having a background in law.
