Guman Singh was another big buy at the PKL 2024 auction, with Gujarat Giants securing his services for Rs 1.97 crore. Guman made his debut in season 7 with Jaipur Pink Panthers but played only 3 matches, scoring 5 raid points. He joined Patna Pirates in season 8 and improved significantly, scoring 95 raid points and 2 tackle points.
In season 9, he played for U Mumba and scored 137 raid points. He continued his form in season 10, scoring 163 raid points and 5 tackle points, proving he can be a match-winner.
4. Pawan Sehrawat (Telugu Titans) – Rs 1.725 crore
Pawan Sehrawat, also known as the “Hi-Flyer,” was retained by Telugu Titans for Rs 1.725 crore using the FBM card. Pawan has been one of the most prolific raiders in PKL history. He made his debut in season 3 with Bengaluru Bulls, scoring 45 raid points and 8 tackle points. However, he struggled in seasons 4 and 5, leading to his release.
Pawan’s breakout season came in season 6, where he scored 271 raid points and led Bengaluru Bulls to their first PKL title. He continued his dominance in season 7 with 346 raid points and won the MVP award. In seasons 8, 9, and 10, he scored 304, 263, and 278 raid points, respectively, solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable players.
5. Bharat Hooda (UP Yoddhas) – Rs 1.30 crore
Bharat Hooda was another significant purchase at the PKL season 11 auction, with UP Yoddhas investing Rs 1.30 crore in the all-rounder. Bharat debuted in season 8 with Bengaluru Bulls, scoring 115 raid points and 14 tackle points. He improved in season 9, recording 279 raid points and 2 tackle points.
Although he had a quieter season 10, with just 103 raid points and 6 tackle points, Bharat has the potential to make a strong comeback. A change of team might be just what he needs to rediscover his form.
