The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 auction, which began on Thursday, August 15, brought a flurry of excitement as teams fought to secure top talent for the upcoming season. The auction, held in Mumbai, set new records with several players attracting substantial bids, reflecting the league's growing competitiveness.
Day 1 of the auction witnessed a total of 24 players being put up for bidding, with a notable 20 of them being successfully acquired by various teams. However, four players did not find any buyers and remained unsold by the end of the day.
The first day of the auction was marked by intense bidding wars as teams aimed to strengthen their rosters for Pro Kabaddi Season 11. Sachin Tanwar emerged as the most expensive player of the day, bagging a staggering ₹2.15 crore from the Tamil Thalaivas. The day was characterized by several players crossing the ₹1 crore threshold, showcasing the strategic investments teams are making in their squad formations. Despite the overall high activity, a few players were unable to secure deals, leaving them on the sidelines.
Among those unsold were notable names such as Vishal Bhardwaj and Rohit Gulia. Vishal Bhardwaj, a defender known for his solid defensive skills, and Rohit Gulia, an all-rounder with a versatile game, were both available for bids but did not meet any team's requirements on the opening day. Additionally, Visvanth V, another all-rounder, and Vaibhav Garje, a defender specializing in the right cover position, remained unsold.
The auction's unsold list provides insight into the complexities of team strategies and market demands. With a remaining day of bidding, it is possible that these players could find opportunities as teams reassess their needs and budget allocations. The excitement around the Pro Kabaddi League continues to build as fans and teams alike look forward to the final combinations for the season ahead.
Here is the complete list of players who went unsold on Day 1 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 auction.
