Another top player to cross the INR 2-crore mark was Devank Dalal, who was the Best Raider in PKL 11. Having led the line for the Patna Pirates as they reached the final in the previous campaign, Devank was eventually signed by Bengal Warriorz for INR 2.205 crore, making him the fifth-most expensive player in the PKL Player Auction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A highlight of the PKL 12 Player Auction is the new Final Bid Match (FBM) rule that allows teams to buy back their released players by matching the final auction bid price, for either one or two seasons. This FBM rule was used by Dabang Delhi K.C. to bring their star raider Ashu Malik back to the team for INR 1.90 crore for the next two seasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The other top bids from Category A included Arjun Deshwal, who was signed by Tamil Thalaivas for INR 1.405 crore, and Yogesh Dahiya, who will ply his trade for Bengaluru Bulls after being signed for INR 1.125 crore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe PKL 12 Player Auction for Category A shows how performance plays a key role, with Shadloui and Devank being rewarded with exceptional bids of over INR 2 crore. We also saw five crorepatis in this category, and the new two-season FBM rule is making an impact after being used by Patna Pirates and then Dabang Delhi K.C. This sets the stage for the rest of the Categories as the franchises build their squads for another season of exciting kabaddi action,\u201d said Anupam Goswami, Business Head, Mashal Sports & League Chairman, Pro Kabaddi League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
