The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 concluded after two days of exhilarating action at the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai on Friday, August 16. The two days of auction saw more than 500 players going under the hammer. Day 1 of the auction saw a record number of players crossing the Rs 1 crore mark—eight in total—while Day 2 saw young players getting their chance to shine on the big stage.
Sachin Tanwar became the most expensive buy on Day 1 and overall in the auction, with Tamil Thalaivas going up to Rs 2.15 crore for the raider from Rajasthan. On Day 2, Ajith Kumar became the most expensive player when Tamil Thalivas acquired his services for Rs 66 lakh.
While all the spotlight was on the big-money buys of the season, several high-profile names failed to find a buyer for season 11. The list included PKL veterans like Deepak Niwas Hooda, Sandeep Narwal, Ravinder Pahal, and Rahul Chaudhari, as well as young stars like Vishal Bharadwaj, Monu Goyat, Rohit Gulia, and others.
This will be the first season where the “Poster Boy” Rahul Chaudhari failed to find a buyer in PKL history. However, teams are still allowed to sign players from the unsold players’ list until the season begins, so we might see the list getting a little smaller in the coming days. Until then, here is the full list of unsold players from the PKL 2024 auction.
