Pro Kabaddi League Auction: Players retained, team purse, date, time, and live streaming – Sports News
Pro Kabaddi League Auction: The 2017 Vivo Pro Kabaddi season will begin later this year, but the preparations for it will begin with the PKL Season 9 Player Auction, which will take place before that.
The PKL began as an eight-team competition in 2014 but has since expanded to include four new clubs, making the league even larger and featuring more of the sport’s biggest names.
The most expensive player in PKL history, Pardeep Narwal, was purchased by UP Yoddha for a whopping Rs 1.65 crore during the Season 8 auction.
At Rs 1.45 crore, Siddharth Desai was the most costly acquisition prior to Pardeep. In February this year, the eighth season of the Pakistani Premier League (PKL) was completed after an almost two-year absence owing to the COVID 19 pandemic.
Last season, Dabang Delhi won their first title by defeating Patna Pirates, a team that had won the tournament multiple times before. Season 9 has already begun to take shape, as the Bengal Warriors have hired former PKL winning coach K Baskaran as head coach and former national kabaddi player Prashant Surve as an assistant coach (assistant coach).
Haryana Steelers replaced Rakesh Kumar with recently terminated Giants coach Manpreet Singh, while Gujarat Giants added Ram Mehar Singh to their support staff.
