Pro Kabaddi League Auction 2018: Full list of raiders, defenders, all-rounders sold on Day 1

On the Day 1 of the PKL auctions this year, raider Monu Goyat grabbed the attention in the evening, bought by Haryana Steelers for a sum of Rs 1.51 crore. The auction began with Iran’s Fazel Atrachali breaking last season’s record by going for Rs 1 crore to U Mumba. The other big gainers were Rahul Chaudhari (Rs 1.29 crore to Telugu Titans), Deepak Niwas Hooda (Rs 1.15 crore to Jaipur Pink Panthers) and Rishank Devadiga (Rs 1.11 crore to UP Yodha)

Former India captain Anup Kumar suffered a fall from grace as he commanded a mere Rs 30 lakh at the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 6 auction on Wednesday.

Anup, who led India to a record third World Cup title in 2016, will represent the Jaipur Pink Panthers this season.

He went for Rs 56.65 lakh last season, while being retained for the fifth consecutive time by the U Mumba franchise. However, he was not retained this season following a run of poor form.

Anup, who made his international debut at the 2010 Asian Games, won the PKL title the same year and retained it in 2014.

Here is the complete list of players sold on Day 1 of the PKL auction:
