Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj are set to begin a new chapter in their lives as they prepare to get married on December 4, 2026, in Lucknow. Reports say the wedding will take place at the Ramada Hotel, with preparations now underway in both families.
Rinku Singh: From Aligarh to Indian Cricket
Rinku Singh, who hails from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, has become a familiar name among Indian cricket fans, particularly for his performances in T20 cricket. He rose to national attention after his memorable IPL performance in which he hit five consecutive sixes against Gujarat Titans bowler Yash Dayal.
Rinku has since gone on to represent India and has established himself as a recognised T20 player. He has also continued to play domestic and franchise cricket. In 2026, he led the Meerut Mavericks to the UP T20 League title, adding another achievement to his cricket career.
Priya Saroj: From Politics to Parliament
Priya Saroj is a young Samajwadi Party politician who entered Parliament after winning the 2024 Lok Sabha election from the Machhlishahr constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Her political career has made her a recognised young face within the party.
Her journey is quite different from Rinku’s. While Rinku has built his identity through cricket, Priya has made her mark in public life and politics. Their upcoming marriage has therefore attracted attention because it brings together two personalities from very different professional worlds.
Their Engagement
The couple’s engagement took place on June 8, 2025, at The Centrum Hotel in Lucknow’s Sushant Golf City. Several prominent personalities from cricket, politics and entertainment reportedly attended the ceremony, including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, actor Jaya Bachchan and cricketer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla and former cricketers Piyush Chawla and Praveen Kumar were also among the reported guests.
Reports from the engagement said Rinku and Priya entered the venue holding hands. When Rinku put the engagement ring on Priya’s finger, she became emotional, with photographs and videos from the ceremony later circulating widely on social media.
Wedding Plans
The wedding date has now reportedly been finalised for December 4, 2026, at the Ramada Hotel in Lucknow. The date had previously been postponed amid Rinku’s cricket commitments and later following the death of his father, Khan Chand Singh, according to recent reports.
The complete guest list for the wedding has not been publicly announced. However, given the couple’s connections to cricket and politics, several well-known personalities from both fields could be expected to attend.
A New Journey as Husband and Wife
For Rinku and Priya, the wedding marks the beginning of a new phase beyond their individual careers. Rinku will continue to focus on cricket, while Priya has her responsibilities as an elected MP.
Their story has naturally attracted attention because of the contrast between their professional lives. One has made a name on the cricket field, while the other has entered India’s political arena at a young age.
As December 4 approaches, fans and well-wishers are waiting to see the couple’s wedding celebrations and the special moments that will mark their journey from an engaged couple to husband and wife.
