Following the success of the inaugural Women\u2019s League auction earlier on Saturday, the men\u2019s franchises battled it out on the bidding table to finalise their rosters, blending established international stars with the city\u2019s most promising emerging talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Season 4 auction saw intense bidding wars, with all-rounder Akash Parkar becoming one of the most valued acquisitions, going to SoBo Mumbai Falcons for \u20b912 lakh. Wicketkeeper-batsman Prasad Pawar (\u20b911.50 lakh) and the versatile Musheer Khan (\u20b911 lakh) were secured by Arcs Andheri in a clear statement of intent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
