Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj's Wedding Postponed Due to Cricket Obligations

Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Member of Parliament Priya Saroj's much-hyped wedding has now been rescheduled according to recent reports. The two had previously announced that they would tie the knot on November 19 but because of Rinku's working obligations with the Indian cricket team the wedding had to be rescheduled. Both Priya and Rinku had celebrated their engagement on June 8 in Lucknow, it was a big event with some big names gracing the occasion and their engagement photos had gone viral on social media.

Rinku Singh is now one of the most discussed names in Indian cricket. He has gained a loyal following due to his consistent performances particularly when playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. This year as well Rinku was a vital member of the squad during the 2025 IPL season. Being out on the field, he has also become one of the most consistent middle-order batsmen and his national team commitments keep him on the go. Due to these cricketing responsibilities the couple had to take the difficult decision of putting their wedding plans on hold.

As per a news report in the Amar Ujala newspaper the wedding will be held sometime in February 2026. While the date has not been officially announced yet the family has already gone ahead and made new bookings for the new date as reported. The wedding site was initially booked at the Taj Hotel in Varanasi for November 19 but due to Rinku's cricket season being in full swing the family opted to change the date so he could be with them for the whole celebration. The new date for the wedding will probably be around the end of February and a final confirmation will soon be made.

Priya Saroj, being also in the limelight recently became a news sensation when she won the Machhlishahr seat in the 2024 general elections. She ran from the Samajwadi Party and earned her seat as a first-time MP. Hailing from Karkhiaon village in Varanasi Priya has been with the party for long. She made headlines back in 2022 when she took an active part in her father's election campaign for Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. She has been steadily climbing the political ladder since then.

Their wedding ceremony held earlier this month was akin to a fairytale wedding. Rinku and Priya exchanged wedding rings in a scenic ceremony with close family friends and a few high-profile guests present. Present among them were SP chief and ex-Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav actress and politician Jaya Bachchan and popular Indian pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The photos from their big day were uploaded extensively online with Rinku releasing a sweet message that read this day has been in our hearts for so long nearly three years and the wait was worth every moment. Committed with heart and soul and an eternity to look forward to.

Both Priya and Rinku work well demanding jobs and that complicates finding the right time for personal milestones. While fans and well-wishers were eagerly anticipating the couple getting married this year the date change is understandable considering Rinku's current involvements with the national cricket team. Playing for India is a great privilege and usually, with it comes rigorous time tables that do not leave much space for individual schedules. In such a situation the need arises to reschedule accordingly.

Rinku and Priya have been bonding over the years. Although the couple keeps their relationship more private they have now gone public by announcing their engagement officially. Their followers have been hugely supportive of them and news of the cancellation of their wedding has been met with positivity and an understanding attitude. Everyone appears to be waiting eagerly for the February wedding and wishing them all the best for this new period of their lives.

The Taj Hotel in Varanasi that had been booked initially to hold the November wedding will now conduct the ceremony in February. The hotel is amongst the finest venues in the city and would provide a lavish setting for the couple's special day. Since the two families are much involved in arranging the function, the event is likely to be an unforgettable celebration whichever month it takes place.

While Rinku keeps speaking for India through cricket and Priya concentrates on her new role as an MP their wedding is likely to be a true amalgamation of sport and politics. This unusual combination has already piqued the public's interest and their followers are eagerly counting down to their new wedding date.

Although the delay surprised everyone the justification for it has been welcomed with dignity. Being a national representative in cricket is a full-time job and Rinku's decision to give priority to his national obligation over personal functions speaks volumes about his commitment and professionalism. Priya also, at the same time, exhibited grace and understanding in finding a way around the situation which speaks volumes about the strength of their bond.

Ultimately the love story of this couple continues to remain strong and the 2026 new wedding date is now eagerly anticipated with an even greater enthusiasm. Their fans believe that upon announcing the final date it will prove to be a lovely celebration for both families as well as those who cherish them. Until then fans of the couple are happy to see them sparkle in their individual domains and wait expectantly for the day they get hitched.
