Rinku Singh engaged to MP Priya Saroj as Asia Cup 2025 squad named
Rinku Singh, the Kolkata Knight Riders star, is preparing for a life beyond cricket with Priya Saroj, a lawyer and member of Parliament, after the couple announced their engagement in June. The rising India batter opened up about how their relationship began in 2022, the role of social media in their courtship, and how their busy professional duties have influenced their private time. With Rinku named in India’s squad for the Asia Cup 2025 and Priya continuing her work in villages and Parliament, the couple’s public profile has grown alongside their professional commitments.
The relationship reportedly began when Rinku, then monitoring a fan page, saw Priya’s photo connected to village voting activity and found her appealing. He initially hesitated to message, but Priya’s acknowledgment of his photos encouraged him to reach out on Instagram. “I saw the photo and I liked her. I thought she was perfect for me,” he recalled, noting that their conversations began in earnest and became a regular part of his routine, even before matches. By 2022, he said, the romance had taken root, and they began talking frequently as their respective schedules allowed.
