Pro Kabaddi 2024 teams and players list – all squads.

Their teams retained Naveen Kumar and Rohit Kumar, while Mohammadreza Shadloui and Sachin Tanwar were the top picks at the auction.

The Pro Kabaddi League 2024 auction saw 12 teams in Mumbai bidding fiercely to secure top players for their squads.

The PKL 2024 auction, held over two days, featured more than 500 kabaddi players. On the first day, Sachin Tanwar became the most in-demand player, eventually signed by Tamil Thalaivas. Last season, Tanwar captained the Patna Pirates.

Iranian all-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui, who played a key role in Puneri Paltan’s title win last year, was picked up by Haryana Steelers. His fellow Iranian, Fazel Atrachali, formerly with Gujarat Giants, joined Bengal Warriorz.

Each PKL team is required to have at least two and up to four overseas players in their squad, which can consist of a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 25 players.

Telugu Titans retained Indian kabaddi captain Pawan Sehrawat, while Bengal Warriors used their retention option to bring back raider Maninder Singh.

Top raider Pardeep Narwal, who had a tough season with UP Yoddhas last year, was acquired by Bengaluru Bulls. He will now team up with veteran raider Rohit Kumar, who was retained before the auction. Former Steelers player Siddharth Desai joined Dabang Delhi KC, where he will partner with Naveen Kumar, another retained player.

Jang Kun Lee from the Republic of Korea returned to PKL after a four-year break, rejoining his former team Patna Pirates.

Tamil Thalaivas and UP Yoddhas were the only teams not retaining their elite players going into the auction. Bengal Warriors and Dabang Delhi KC opted not to retain their young players. Tamil Thalaivas, however, kept seven young players, while defending champions Puneri Paltan retained six. These two teams retained 12 and 11 players, respectively.

Gujarat Giants and Jaipur Pink Panthers entered the auction with just five retained players, the lowest among all 12 PKL teams.
