Rinku Singh's Special Invitation to Prime Minister Modi

On November 15, Indian cricketer Rinku Singh had the honor of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, accompanied by his family. During this meeting, he extended a personal invitation to the Prime Minister for his upcoming wedding to Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj, which is set for December 4.

Rinku took to Instagram to share a memorable photo from the meeting, showcasing himself and his family alongside the Prime Minister. He expressed his gratitude, stating, “It was an honor to meet our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji with my family, invite him to my wedding, and seek his blessings. A truly special moment for us.”

The wedding is planned to take place in Lucknow, and it is anticipated that many notable figures from both cricket and politics will be in attendance.

Earlier, Rinku's family had also invited Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. His mother, Beena Devi, along with his brother Sonu Singh and sister Neha Singh, visited the Chief Minister's residence in Lucknow to deliver the wedding invitation personally.

Rinku and Priya became engaged in June of the previous year. Priya, a leader in the Samajwadi Party, serves as the representative for the Machhlishahr constituency in the Lok Sabha.

The couple's romance reportedly blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their engagement last year brought their relationship into the public eye.

On the cricketing side, Rinku has made a name for himself as a vital player in India's limited-overs squad, particularly noted for his match-finishing abilities in T20 formats.

Since his international debut in 2023, the left-handed batsman has played in 50 international matches, which include 48 T20 Internationals and two One-Day Internationals.

He was also part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup in 2026, lifting the trophy on home ground. Rinku has contributed to India's successes in the 2022 Asian Games and the 2025 Asia Cup as well.

At the franchise level, he has been a standout player for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), gaining acclaim for his finishing prowess and reliability in the middle order.
