In case you didn't know, Bengaluru Bulls won the sixth season of Pro Kabaddi, against Manpreet Singh's Gujarat Fortune Giants. Pawan Sehrawat saved the night and pitched in a frigging record-breaking total of 22 points. That was mind-blowing!
Many skillful players like Arjuna Awardee Rakesh Kumar and Nitin Madan did not make the mark and hence remained unsold in the season 6 auctions. Nonetheless, many players failed to live up to the expectations of their teams and fans last season.
Here's a list of 4 veteran players who might go unsold in the forthcoming season 7 auctions:
#4 Jasmer Singh Gulia
Jasmer Singh Gulia, this soldier from Bengaluru Bulls, was a let down last season. He started off as the captain of Dabang Delhi in the first season of PKL. The all-rounder played in Dabang Delhi till season 2 and put in a great performance.
Puneri Paltan bought him for season 3 and that is when his game bloomed. Gulia ended up scoring forty-six points in sixteen matches and had a not out percentage of hundred.
Surprisingly enough, he was not present in the auctions' list for season 5 and ended up missing out. It was pleasant to see him back in season 6, where Bengaluru Bulls bought him for just ₹8 lakh.
Jasmer left us disappointed by scoring just four points in six matches. His tattering game might result in him going unsold at the season 7 auctions.
