The Hindu
Yoddha picks him up for ₹1.65 crore, eclipses Goyat’s ₹1.51 crore buy by Steelers
UP Yoddha signed Pardeep Narwal for ₹1.65 crore at the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 8 auction on Monday, making him the most expensive player in the history of the league. Raider Pardeep eclipsed the previous record, set in Season 6, when Haryana Steelers acquired the services of Monu Goyat for ₹1.51 crore. This was Pardeep’s maiden appearance in a PKL auction, having previously enjoyed a long stint with Patna Pirates. Siddharth Desai, who won the emerging player award in Season 6, was signed by Telugu Titans for ₹1.3 crore. It was UP Yoddha which won a tough bidding war for Desai, before Telugu Titans swooped in with the Final Bid Match (FBM) option to retain his services.
