PKL 2024 Auction Highlights
But even before the actual PKL 2024 action gets started on the mat, there was a lot to like about the player auction.
The auction that took place in August in Mumbai witnessed some high bids by the franchises as they sought to acquire the talent.
All in all, eight players were sold for more than Rs 1 crore and the trends marked a new high in terms of franchise investments in the ISL.
The most expensive buy in the auction went into Tamil Thalaivas, who bought star raider Sachin Tanwar for an astonishing Rs 2. 15 crore.
This was the most costly player that was to be bought in PKL to date, and Tanwar was that lucky boy.
The second highest bidding amount was of Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh, who Haryana Steelers bought for Rs 2. 07 crore.
Many of the star trackers, such the Guman Singh, Pawan Sehrawat, Bharat, and Maninder Singh, also attracted relatively steep prices in the auction.

PKL 2024 is going to be an exciting season indeed, as a host of star players and teams compete fiercely with one another for the topmost position.
The revised format of having matches in just three cities has promised fans in these cities some high-intensity kabaddi action.
At the same time, millions of coverage homes in India will be facilitated by television and other streaming services.
League Commissioner Anupam Goswami said, “After completing a decade of ten successful seasons, PKL Season 11 will mark another milestone for the continued growth of the league.
