Pro Kabaddi 2022 Auction: Remaining purse value and money left with each PKL team after Day 1

The first day of the Pro Kabaddi 2022 Auction ended on Friday (August 5) with players from categories 'A' and 'B' earning contracts from the 12 franchises. Tamil Thalaivas made history as they shelled out a whopping ₹2.26 crore to sign Pawan Sehrawat.

Just a few minutes before Tamil Thalaivas' historic bid, the Bengaluru Bulls signed Vikash Khandola for an enormous sum of ₹1.70 crore.

Puneri Paltan started the auction with a bang as they spent over ₹2 crore to rope in Iranian stars Mohammad Esmaeil Nabibakhsh and Fazel Atrachali.

Gujarat Giants entered the Pro Kabaddi Auction 2022 with the highest purse value remaining, but could not sign any big names from the 'A' category of players. The Ahmedabad-based franchise submitted the winning bids for Pardeep Narwal and Sachin, but both players were FBM-ed by their respective franchises, UP Yoddhas and Patna Pirates.
