PKL Auction 2021: Full squads of all 12 teams after Day 2
It was a red-letter day on Day 2 of the PKL Auction 2021. 'Record-breaker' Pardeep Narwal and 'Bahubali' Siddharth Desai joined the elite Crorepati club and made history.
Pardeep Narwal became the costliest player in the history of PKL auctions after the U.P. Yoddha shelled out a whopping ₹1.65 crores to sign the dubki king for the eighth edition.
Moreover, the Telugu Titans snapped their talismanic raider, Siddharth Desai, back by exercising the Final Bid Match (FBM) card at an amount of ₹1.30 crores.
The second day of PKL Auction 2021 included many surprising moments as seasoned players like Deepak Niwas Hooda (Jaipur Pink Panthers), Rahul Chaudhari (Puneri Paltan), and Rohit Kumar (Telugu Titans) didn't receive much attention from the franchises.
The day started with an auction for the overseas players, where young Iranian talent Mohammadreza Shadlou Chianeh got picked by the Patna Pirates for ₹31 lakhs. All 12 Pro Kabaddi teams spent a decent chunk of money to complete the requirement of having at least two foreign players in their squads.
Some standout names like Rohit Gulia, Ravinder Pahal, PO Surjeet Singh, K Prapanjan, Manjeet Dahiya, Chandran Ranjit, and Sachin Tanwar also earned handsome contracts at PKL Auction 2021.
Here is the total money spent and the full squad for all 12 teams after Day 2 of the PKL Auction 2021.
