Pro Kabaddi 2024 teams and players list after Auction – all squads !!!!!

The PKL 2024 auction was held over two days with more than 500 kabaddi players listed in the bidding process.

On the first day of the auction, Sachin Tanwar emerged as the most sought-after player and was eventually bagged by Tamil Thalaivas. Tanwar was the captain of Patna Pirates last year.

Iranian all-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui, who was instrumental in Puneri Paltan’s title win last year, was bagged by Haryana Steelers. His countryman Fazel Atrachali, a former Gujarat Giants player, went to Bengal Warriorz.

Each PKL team is allowed to have a minimum of two and a maximum of four overseas players in their squad. Each squad can have a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 25 players.

Indian kabaddi captain Pawanw Sehraat, meanwhile, was retained by Telugu Titans during the auction. Bengal Warriorz also exercised their retention option to get back raider Maninder Singh.

The league’s top raider Pardeep Narwal, who struggled at UP Yoddhas last year, went to Bengaluru Bulls where he will pair up with veteran raider Rohit Kumar, who was retained ahead of the auction. Former Steelers player Siddharth Desai went to Dabang Delhi KC where he will join forces with Naveen Kumar, who was also retained before the auction.

The Republic of Korea’s Jang Kun Lee made a return to PKL after an absence of four years. He was picked up by his old team Patna Pirates for the upcoming season.

Coming into the auction, Tamil Thalaivas and UP Yoddhas were the only two teams that did not retain their elite players while the rechristened Bengal Warriorz and Dabang Delhi KC did not keep their young players.

Tamil Thalaivas, however, had retained seven of their young players while defending champions Puneri Paltan kept six. The two teams, thus, had retained 12 and 11 kabaddi players, respectively.

Gujarat Giants and Jaipur Pink Panthers, meanwhile, went into the auction with just five retained players each – the least among all 12 PKL teams.
