On day 1 of the PKL Season 11 Player Auction, Tamil Thalaivas splashed the cash on raider Sachin Tawar as a record-breaking eight crorepatis emerged for the first time in a single day in the Pro Kabaddi Auction history.

Pawan Sehrawat and Maninder Singh were retained by their former sides via Final Bid Match (FBM) cards during the auction, while Pardeep Narwal returned to where it all started for the record-breaker in PKL.

Iranian duo of Fazel Atrachali and Mohammadreza Shadloui found new homes like Bharat Hooda, Ajinkya Ashok Pawar, Guman Singh and several others in Category A and B.

As mentioned earlier, eight players breached the crore-mark in one day of the auction for the first time as Sachin, Shadloui, Guman Singh, Bharat, Sunil Kumar, Pawan Sehrawat, Maninder and Ajinkya Pawar all fetched upwards of Rs 1 Crore at the auction.
