PKL 11 Auction: Full list of players who went unsold

Vishal Bharadwaj and Rohit Gulia were among players who went unsold on Day 1.
Vishal Bharadwaj and Rohit Gulia found no takers on the first day of the Pro Kabaddi League auction for season 11. The PKL 11 Auction Day 1 got off to a brilliant start with many players breaking the barriers and becoming crorepatis. But there is always another side to the coin and few players left unsold at the end of the first day.
Vishal Bharadwaj is one name that had no paddle being raised during the auction on Thursday. The left corner defender was with the Dabang Delhi KC last season and was used more as an impact defender coming off during super tackle opportunities. But they have decided to let go of him. He has been with the league since season four but couldn’t be placed in a team on the first day.
Another surprise was the no-bid for all-rounder Rohit Gulia. The 26-year-old has been in a topsy-turvy form. Starting his career with Gujarat, the all-rounder’s best performance came in season seven with 142 points. He was picked by Haryana Steelers for a whopping 83 lakhs which raised many eyebrows. He could manage just 69 points.
His move to Patna Pirates in season nine saw him improve his best performance with a total point of 148. He was called back to the Gujarat team for season 10. His tally of 51 points wasn’t enough to be retained as well as get a bid in the auction. Former U Mumba player Visvanth V also failed to get any paddles in his favour. These players could be recalled on the second day by teams and buy them to fit into their starting seven.
