Following an intense two-day PKL Season 12 Auction in Mumbai, all 12 teams have restructured their squads with strategic signings and key retentions, setting the stage for an electrifying new season.
Bengal Warriorz made headlines by acquiring last season’s standout Devank Dalal for ₹2.205 crore, while also bringing back Jang Kun Lee and retaining defenders like Nitesh Kumar. Their unit now boasts youthful energy and experienced talent.
Bengaluru Bulls, looking to rebound from a disappointing campaign, picked up Akash Shinde and Iranian raiders Alireza Mirzaeian and Ahmadreza Asgari. Their lineup appears far more balanced for Season 12.
Dabang Delhi K.C. used their FBM card to hold onto star raider Ashu Malik and added veteran defender Fazel Atrachali, forming a robust defensive spine.
Gujarat Giants broke records by signing Mohammadreza Shadloui for ₹2.23 crore. With raiders like Ajith V Kumar and Iranian defender Milad Jabbari, they’ve formed a potent squad.
Haryana Steelers, last season’s champions, retained their championship core and snapped up Naveen Kumar to reinforce their attack, aiming for back-to-back titles.
Jaipur Pink Panthers enhanced their raiding arsenal with Nitin Kumar Dhankhar and bolstered defence with names like Aashish Kumar and Iranian raider Ali Samadi.
Other teams like Patna Pirates, Puneri Paltan, and Tamil Thalaivas stayed consistent with their base while strategically adding game-changers like Maninder Singh, Arjun Deshwal, and Pawan Sehrawat, respectively.
UP Yoddhas, U Mumba, and Telugu Titans rounded out their squads with smart overseas picks and young domestic talent.
