PKL Auction: Nitin Tomar highest paid, read to know who went where
NITIN TOMAR remained as the most expensive buy as franchises drew curtains over the second and the final day of Pro Kabaddi League 2017 players’ auction. The 22-year-old, who had a base price of Rs 20 lakh, joined newly added franchise Uttar Pradesh for a record Rs 93 lakh.
Interestingly, Iran’s Abozar Mohajermighani emerged as the costliest overseas buy ahead of the fifth season of PKL. Abozar was acquired by Gujarat for Rs 50 lakh. While seven out of eight franchises retained one player each, it was only Jaipur Pink Panthers who decided to go with all new faces.
The PKL 5 players’ auction was a two-day event which saw 12 teams locking horns in order to bid for players. After holding two seasons last year, it has been confirmed that there will be just one league this year. And starting July 28, it will hold 130 matches between 12 teams in 13 weeks,
Ahead of the much-anticipated edition, let us take a look at how all the teams are stacked up after an exciting auction.
