10 players earned more than Rs 1 crore in PKL 12 auction.

The Pro Kabaddi League season 12 auction served in all terms, from shocking bids to massive deals. A total of 83 players, including 25 Elite Retained Players (ERP), 23 Retained Young Players (RYP), and 35 New Young Players (NYP), were retained before the event.

PKL 12 auction is unarguably the biggest auction in recent years, with some of the biggest names currently in the world of Kabaddi having gone under the hammer.

The mega-event was been life-changing for many individuals and families. For the first time in the history of the competition, a double-digit number of players (10) have attained amounts exceeding Rs. 1 Cr at the auctions.

All-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui, who has been the best defender thrice in the last four editions and is coming off clinching back-to-back PKL titles, was the most expensive player, with the Gujarat Giants signing him at Rs. 2.23 Cr. Hearteningly, the remaining nine players in the list are all Indians.

Raider Devank Dalal was the highest-paid Indian, with the Bengal Warriorz‘ last bid measuring Rs. 2.205 Cr. Left corner Ankit Jaglan has become the most expensive Indian defender ever, bought by Patna Pirates for Rs 1.573 crore. Pirates use the Final Bid Match (FBM) Card to secure his services for one year.

The likes of Ashu Malik, Arjun Deshwal, Naveen Kumar, and Sachin Tanwar fetched a big deal. The lowest valued crorepati on Saturday was Nitin Kumar, whom the Jaipur Pink Panthers pocketed at Rs. 1.0025 Cr.
