Rinku Singh, known for his cricketing prowess, is engaged to Priya Saroj, a Samajwadi Party MP. They plan to marry later this year. Singh’s cricketing highlights include his performance against Gujarat Titans in 2023. However, his path to success had challenges, including a three-month suspension by the BCCI in 2019 for playing in an unsanctioned T20 tournament in Abu Dhabi, leading to his exclusion from the India A squad. The BCCI’s regulations mandate that players obtain permission before playing in overseas tournaments.
Singh’s IPL journey began with Punjab Kings and continued with Kolkata Knight Riders. He has played 2 ODIs, scoring 55 runs with an average of 27.50. KKR acquired him for Rs 13.00 Cr in the 2025 auction. His final IPL match was on May 5, 2025, where he scored 9 runs against SRH. Priya Saroj, representing Machhlishahr in Uttar Pradesh, entered politics following her father, Tufani Saroj, and has a background in law, having worked at the Supreme Court.
