In one of the questions, a fan had asked about her marriage plans. The 24-year-old cleared that she has no plans of marriage and currently her only focus is cricket.

Priya made her debut for India women's cricket team in 2019, featuring in a T20I match against New Zealand women. She has two half-centuries in five ODI matches.
