A whopping Rs. 13.40 crore was splurged on domestic players on day one of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) auction 2018. The surprise wasn’t that the 100-lakh mark was breached but the number of times it had and players who were bought in excess of 1 crore.
Iranian Fazel became the costliest foreign player. Bengaluru Bulls and Jaipur Pink Panthers were involved in an intense bidding war for Fazel, with U Mumba ultimately bidding Rs.100 lakh and securing him.
On Wednesday at the Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre, Haryana Steelers acquired the services of Monu Goyat at Rs. 1.51 crore, making him the most expensive player in PKL history.
Of the 25 Category A players, only Ravinder Pahal went unsold on day one. He will, however, be up for auction on today, when Categories B, C and D will also be up for bidding.
Hello and welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Pro Kabaddi League auctions. Today, we will head into the second day of the bids.
