Hockey India League 2024 Auction: Remaining purse of all teams after Day 1 of men's player auction

The first day of Hockey India League 2024 (HIL) men's player auction was a riveting watch. A total of eight teams battled it out with all their brainpower and strategies to build a solid squad. There was some tension in the air as the team owners were on their toes trying to stick to their plans.

While some plans worked out well, there were certain strategies that fell flat. Almost every team managed to grab certain players who they had targetted pre-auction. However, there were also certain players who they were unable to capture owing to the uncertain dynamic of such an auction.

All teams went into the auction with a total purse of Rs 4 crore in which they are required to build a squad of 24 members. The demand of the auction process is such that each team should pick 16 domestic and 8 international players.

While some teams exhausted their purses significantly, there were also some who will go into day 2 with a good budget. Here is a look at the remaining purse for all teams after day 1 of the Hockey India League 2024 men's player auction.
