It was a historic and monumental day in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history. It was filled with twists and turns and plenty of elation as the first day of the Pro Kabaddi Auction 2022 took place at the Trident Hotel in Mumbai on Friday, August 5.
With players from Category A and Category B going under the hammer on Day 1 of this two-day event, we saw plenty of action that provided both joy and heartbreak for fans and some of the players.
We saw the record for the most expensive PKL bid being broken twice, with Vikash Kandola going to the Bengaluru Bulls for ₹170 lakh, only for the Tamil Thalaivas to go all-out to get Pawan Sehrawat for ₹226 lakh to break the record almost immediately.
Sunil Kumar and Fazel Atrachali were the two defenders who had the biggest payday, with the latter joining the Puneri Paltan for a huge sum of ₹1.38 crore. U Mumba closed proceedings on day 1 by paying big to sign Guman Singh, who featured for the Patna Pirates last season.
There were also shockingly low bids for some of the game's superstars, with Siddharth Desai, Monu Goyat, and Nitin Tomar all getting sold for their base price of ₹20 lakh. 'The Beast' Sandeep Narwal and Abozar Mighani were some of the notable names to go unsold.
