The third and the final day of PKL Auction 2021 ended on a memorable note. All the 12 franchises filled their squads with players from Categories B, C, and D and have built full-strength teams for a chance to win the trophy in the upcoming eighth edition of the PKL.
The inaugural day of the PKL Auction 2021 didn't witness much action as only four players from the New Young Players category got picked in the auction.
Day 2 kicked off with the overseas players' auction, where Iranian talent Mohammadreza Shadlou Chianeh got picked by the Patna Pirates for ₹31 lakhs.
Later in the evening, Pardeep Narwal became the highest-paid player in the history of PKL auctions after the U.P. Yoddha team splurged a whopping ₹1.65 crores to sign the 'Record-breaker' for the eighth season.
Also, the Telugu Titans snapped their star raider, Siddharth Desai, back by exercising the Final Bid Match (FBM) card at an amount of ₹1.30 crores.
On the final day, the Jaipur Pink Panthers shelled out ₹96 lakhs to former U Mumba raider Arjun Deshwal, making him the third-most-expensive buy of PKL Auction 2021.
Seasoned players like Deepak Niwas Hooda (Jaipur Pink Panthers), Rahul Chaudhari (Puneri Paltan), Ajay Thakur (Dabang Delhi KC), and Rohit Kumar (Telugu Titans) didn't receive much attention from the franchises.
Meanwhile, veteran players like Vishal Mane, Mohit Chhillar, Nilesh Salunke, Ran Singh and Farhad Milagardhan ended up with no bidders and thus were left unsold.
In this article, we take a look at the full squads of all 12 teams after the conclusion of PKL Auction 2021.
