The 2021 PKL mega-auction ended after three days of intense bidding from 12 franchises. While the usual suspects went big in the market, a few surprises unfolded as some out-of-the-blue stars fetched fairly lucrative deals compared to their allotted price tags before the bidding started.

After a one-year absence, the Pro Kabaddi League is back with its share of thrills and chills, and guess what? The fun is set to double-up, with the franchises completing a revamp of their squads which saw many top stars shift allegiance to their rival teams. Even though the showdown is set to begin later this year, the madness has already started with a three-day nail-biting auction scripting a perfect prologue to the main act.

As far as the auctions panned out, Pardeep Narwal, who was expected to go big, was roped in by UP Yoddha for a record fee of INR 1.65 crores. While everyone saw the above coming, Siddharth Desai’s retention by Telugu Titans at a price tag of 1.30 crores was shocked many to their core. Just as the Titans feared what they might be losing, they used the FBM (Final Bid Match) card to keep him in their scheme of things.

Meanwhile, former PKL winner with U Mumba – Arjun Deshwal was the third most expensive player in the auction, with Jaipur Pink Panthers securing his services after an intense bid war with Telugu Titans. Iran’s Abozar Mohajer Mighani was the foreigner sold with the highest price tag, with the Bengal Warriors dishing out INR 30.50 lakh for defender ahead of the 2021 PKL season.

Meanwhile, veteran players like Ajay Thakur (Dabang Delhi), Manjeet Chillar (Dabang Delhi), and Monu Goyat (Patna Pirates) were all retained by their respective franchises for decent remunerations. In fact, Monu, who was once the most expensive player in the league with a price tag of 1.51 crore, has seen his current value plunge to INR 20 lakh.
