Indian cricketer Rinku Singh, who impressed everyone with his heroics in the T20 circuit, is reportedly engaged to Lok Sabha MP from Samajwadi Party (SP) Priya Saroj. She is a Member of Parliament from Macchlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Neither Rinku nor Priya has officially confirmed their engagement. The rumors started spreading due to claims made by social media users.
Priya Saroj, born in 1998 in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, is the daughter of Tufani Saroj, a three-time Member of Parliament. A well-educated individual, Priya earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Delhi University and later pursued a law degree from Amity University, showcasing her dedication to academics and her interest in legal studies.
At the age of 25, Saroj achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha seat for the Samajwadi Party, becoming one of the youngest Members of Parliament. She secured a victory with a margin of over 35,000 votes.
As of now, Priya is a practicing lawyer in the Supreme Court, carrying forward the political legacy of her father, Tufani Saroj, who served as an MP from the same constituency in 1999, 2004, and 2009.
Rinku Singh, a promising talent in Indian cricket, has been representing the national T20 team for the past two years. Known for his consistent performances and ability to handle pressure, he has quickly become a key player and a fan favorite in the shortest format of the game.
Left-handed batter Rinku Singh has been named in the squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against England.
