#7 Patna Pirates - Pardeep Narwal, one of the biggest names to be part of PKL Auction 2021
Pardeep Narwal will surely be among the costliest picks at PKL Auction 2021. The 'Dubki King' has scored the most points in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League.
It was shocking to see the Patna Pirates release him, considering the fact that he scored more than 300 raid points in the previous season. Patna will likely use their FBM card to get Pardeep back.
#8 Puneri Paltan - PO Surjeet Singh
PO Surjeet Singh was one of the top performers for Puneri Paltan in the previous Pro Kabaddi League season. Although he scored 63 tackle points for the team, the Pune-based franchise did not retain him ahead of PKL Auction 2021.
Surjeet is not only a dangerous right cover defender but also a captaincy option. Hence, Puneri Paltan may try to repurchase his services.
#9 Tamil Thalaivas - V Ajith Kumar
Tamil Thalaivas were expected to release their big names ahead of PKL Auction 2021 after the team finished last in 2019. However, a surprising player that the Chennai-based franchise released was V. Ajith Kumar.
The rising star scored 121 raid points in 19 matches during the previous season. Kumar was one of the few bright spots in Tamil Thalaivas' PKL 2019 campaign. The Thalaivas may not mind welcoming him back to the franchise at PKL Auction 2021.
#10 Telugu Titans - Vishal Bhardwaj
Vishal Bhardwaj has been one of the best defenders to have played for the Telugu Titans in Pro Kabaddi League history. The left corner defender scored 199 tackle points in 60 matches.
He performed exceptionally well in PKL 2019, scoring 62 tackle points in 19 matches. The Titans need a few big names in their defense, and Bhardwaj could be one of the defenders the Telugu Titans may look to sign at the PKL Auction 2021.
#11 U Mumba - Sandeep Narwal
Sandeep Narwal was the vice-captain of U Mumba in PKL 2019. He formed a fantastic combination with Iranian defender Fazel Atrachali to trouble the opposition raiders.
Narwal scored 56 tackle points in 24 matches during the previous season. U Mumba may aim to get him back in the squad at a cheaper price.
#12 UP Yoddha - Shrikant Jadhav
UP Yoddha retained their two most successful defenders from the previous season - Nitesh Kumar and Sumit. However, they let go of their most successful raider, Shrikant Jadhav.
Shrikant scored 148 raid points in 22 matches for the Uttar Pradesh-based franchise last season. He could lead the raid attack of UP Yoddha this year if the franchise re-signs him at the PKL Auction 2021.
