Speaking on behalf of Mr. Anupam Goswami, Head Sports Leagues, Mashal Sports and League Commissioner, Pro Kabaddi League said, “I compliment all the PKL stakeholders and the Mashal team for yet another extraordinary PKL Player Auction.  After the record-breaking bids for star players for categories A and B on the opening day, we witnessed remarkable bids for Category D on Day 2 as well. The belief that PKL Teams have in the overall talent pool of the league is truly remarkable. It also demonstrates the continuing success of our League in offering remarkable aspirational opportunities to kabaddi athletes.”
Star raider of the Player Auction Pawan Sehrawat spoke about being sold to Telugu Titans for INR 2.6 Cr – the highest-ever, “I have a responsibility for the team. If a franchise has acquired a player for such a high bid, then the franchise expects that player to take the team to a PKL title. I will certainly carry out my responsibilities for the Telugu Titans.”
The most expensive defender in PKL history Fazel Atrachali said, “I am extremely happy to join Gujarat Giants. They are a very good team. I played with them in Season 5. They know how to take care of the players. I have a very good feeling about this move.”
