The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 auction, which kicked off on Thursday, August 15, saw a whirlwind of activity. With Day 1 concluding, the auction revealed a significant outlay by various franchises as they bought key players to enhance their sides.
Some teams made substantial investments, showcasing their strategic intent to build competitive line-ups. As the first day wrapped up, attention now turns to the remaining budgets of all 12 Pro Kabaddi teams and how they plan to allocate their remaining funds.
Several teams demonstrated aggressive bidding strategies. The Tamil Thalaivas made headlines with their purchase of Sachin Tanwar for ₹2.15 crore, making him the most expensive player of the day.
Similarly, the Haryana Steelers invested heavily in Md. Reza Shadloui, securing him for ₹2.07 crore. These high-value transactions significantly impacted the teams' available purses. Other teams like the Bengaluru Bulls and Dabang Delhi also spent substantially, aiming to balance their spending while still leaving room for more acquisitions.
As teams move into the second day of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 auction, it is important to understand the financial standing of each franchise. The remaining purse for each team provides insight into their current budget and potential for further bidding.
Teams with larger remaining purses might capitalize on this advantage to bring in additional talent, while those with smaller budgets may focus on strategic acquisitions to fill their remaining slots effectively.
