The Pro Kabaddi 2022 auction came to a close on Saturday evening (August 6) after two riveting days of strategy and battle on the auction floor. While Day 1 was filled with explosive and record-breaking bids, it was a quieter affair on Day 2 of the auction.
With Category C, Category D, and the unsold players from earlier rounds going under the hammer, we didn't see too many bidding wars or hefty bids.
Iranian Amirhossein Bastami was the most expensive buy on Day 2, going to the Haryana Steelers for ₹65.10 lakhs. Neeraj Narwal, Rinku Narwal, Shankar Gadai, and Kiran Laxman Nagar were some of the other good earners.
The teams were sharp with their auction strategies on the second day of the auction. They made their bids according to their exploits on Day 1, building around the star players they signed.
With that, let's look at the full squads for all the twelve teams for the ninth edition of the Pro Kabaddi League.
