Pro Kabaddi League 2019 Complete Team Squads: Ahead of the premier kabaddi tournament, TSR takes a look at the complete squads of all the 12 teams, their prized players and auction buys
When the Pro Kabaddi League was conceptualised, the idea behind the advent of the tournament was to become the biggest and grandest kabaddi league in the world and dish a riveting brand of hockey to ardent followers of the sport. And ever since then, the league has only gone onto grow massively, imbibing in it some of the most colossal names in the sport not only from India but the global stage as well.
And the impending season 7 of PKL is only set to break all expectations with teams emerging stronger than ever after a hectic auction process which saw sides spare no expense in brining into their fold a slew of myriad performers. With a transfer kitty of Rs.4.4 crore being accorded to each side to choose from the 388 Indian players and 53 international star performers at stake in the auctions, we saw some massive paydays being doled out by teams to rope in their players.
Among the notable buys were Siddharth Desai who earned the maximum amount as Telegu Titans paid Rs.1.45 crore to acquire his services. The other stalwarts to be picked up were Rs.1.2 crore for Nitin Tomar by Puneri Paltan, Rahul Chaudhari being bought by Tamil Thalaivas for Rs.94 lakh and U Mumba indulging in Sandeep Narwal for Rs.89 lakh.
Ahead of the commencement of the showpiece league from July 19 with the tournament reverting back to a July beginning for this season, we take a look at the complete squad of all the partaking teams along with the retained and purchased players by each side. A total of Rs.50 crore were spent at the two day auctions with only four teams opting to retain their quota of four elite players while Puneri Paltan decided to release their entire side.
