**Ahmedabad, India** – Rinku Singh, the Aligarh-born cricketer who catapulted to national fame after hitting five consecutive sixes in an IPL 2023 match at Narendra Modi Stadium, is set to marry Priya Saroj, a Member of Parliament from the Samajwadi Party. The couple’s engagement has taken place, confirming their impending nuptials.

Singh’s incredible feat in the IPL, coupled with his inspiring journey from poverty to cricketing stardom, has made him a household name. His rise to fame contrasts sharply with his humble beginnings; his father worked as an LPG cylinder distributor. Now, Singh’s net worth is estimated to be in the crores. His recent retention by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a staggering ₹13 crore (approximately $1.6 million USD) in the IPL 2025 retention list, a significant jump from his previous ₹55 lakh salary, underscores his current market value. Prior to this, his estimated net worth was around ₹8 crore, with an annual income between ₹60-80 lakh, primarily from IPL fees, BCCI contracts, and endorsements. He owns a lavish house in Aligarh and luxury vehicles.

His bride-to-be, 26-year-old Priya Saroj, represents Machhlishahr in the Lok Sabha. Elected in 2024, she is the daughter of veteran Samajwadi Party leader Tufani Saroj, a three-time MP and current MLA. According to her election affidavit, Ms. Saroj’s assets total ₹11,25,719, including a bank deposit of ₹10,10,000. She holds a law degree from Amity University and previously attended Air Force Golden Jubilee Institute and Delhi University.

With Singh’s cricketing career flourishing and his endorsement potential soaring, his income is expected to increase substantially. The marriage between the rising cricket star and the young politician is expected to garner significant media attention.
