#2 Gurmail Singh
Age: 23 years
Nationality: Indian
Position: Defender
Base Price: US $12,000
Auction Price: US $81,000
Indian international Gurmail Singh was bought by Dabang Mumbai at the recently concluded CIL Hockey India League 2016 auction. The 23-year-old defender was the subject of a fierce bidding war between Dabang Mumbai, Jaypee Punjab Warriors and Delhi Waveriders before the Alphas won the race to his signature for a whopping US $81,000.
The Alphas struggled to keep the other teams at bay in the previous season, but with the inclusion of Gurmail, their backline has been given a boost. Gurmail, who plays for Punjab and Sind Bank in the domestic league, has represented India on 33 occasions and was the part of the team that won bronze at the 2012 Junior Asia Cup.
