Both Jang Kun Lee (Rs 80.30 lakh) and Nitin Tomar (Rs 93 lakh) earned big bucks in the player auction and will have the weight of their price tags hovering on them.

To make matters even better, the duo are close friends off the mat and played Season 4 together with the Warriors. They know each other's games very well and it will be intriguing to see who comes out on top here.
