PKL 2025 Auction: New FBM rule, champion players pool; all you need to know
The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 Player Auction, scheduled for May 31 and June 1 in Mumbai, promises to be a landmark event in the sport's evolution. With over 500 players in the auction pool, including every PKL-winning player from the past 11 seasons, the stakes are higher than ever. The auction isn't just about building squads — it's about rewriting legacies. Teams are eyeing marquee names such as Pawan Sehrawat, Mohammadreza Shadloui and Pardeep Narwal, while fans are eager to see where stars like Naveen Kumar will land after his first-ever auction appearance. Organisers believe the new format and star-studded player pool will add 'unprecedented excitement and strategy' to the auction room. Champion players up for grabs For the first time in PKL history, every title-winning player from Season 1 to 11 is up for bidding. These legends include Maninder Singh (Seasons 1 & 7), Pardeep Narwal (Seasons 3, 4, 5) and Mohammadreza Shadloui (Seasons 10 & 11), among others. The opportunity to sign these proven match-winners is expected to fuel aggressive bidding wars among franchises. FBM rule gets a strategic makeover One of the biggest structural shifts this season is the revamped Final Bid Match (FBM) rule. Unlike before, teams can now retain a player for one or two seasons through FBM. League officials said this adjustment is aimed at enhancing squad continuity. Teams must declare their intent immediately once a former player draws a top bid — and whichever FBM card (one-season or two-season) is raised first will be binding. FBM and retention dynamics The number of FBMs a team can use depends on their Elite Retained Players (ERPs). While most teams are allowed up to three FBMs, UP Yoddhas can use only two. Overall, 83 players have already been retained — 25 as ERPs, 23 as Retained Young Players and 35 as New Young Players — leaving 217 auction spots open. Salary purse, squad limits, and auction format Each team begins with a ₹5-crore purse (adjusted for retentions) and can field a squad of 18 to 25 players, including up to four overseas names. Players are split across four base-price categories: ₹30 lakh (A), ₹20 lakh (B), ₹13 lakh (C) and ₹9 lakh (D), across raiders, defenders and all-rounders. The auction will be hosted by two well-known faces: Charu Sharma, PKL co-founder, returns for Day 1, while Mallika Sagar — now a seasoned auctioneer after her stints in the WPL and IPL — takes over on Day 2.

With the target of playing in Pro Kabaddi, dominant Haryana were on roll at KIYG 2025
Rajgir (Bihar) [India], May 11 (ANI): Haryana Kabaddi captain Jai Hind Lather, who secured the gold medal in kabaddi during the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games 2025, said that his motivation to bring laurels for the nation is because of fame earned by state's famous Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) stars like Pardeep Narwal, Deepak Niwas Hooda, Mohit Chillar and Monu Goyat, among others. Haryana boys stamped their authority in the indigenous sport of kabaddi by beating Maharashtra in the final of the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games at the Bihar Sports University indoor hall on Thursday. Led by their captain Lather, who has been training at the Sports Authority of India's (SAI) National Centre of Excellence (NCOE) in Gandhinagar since June 2023, Haryana won by 39-28 margin amidst a vociferous crowd in the U-18 boys' kabaddi final. Raiders Prince Dahiya, Ishant and Nikhil were the most valuable players for Haryana, helping them clinch bagful of points with their strong raids. Haryana began their quest of defending their boys' kabaddi team title with an emphatic 58-31 win over Karnataka. Thereafter, Haryana beat Andhra Pradesh 37-28 and Chhattisgarh 55-30 to enter the semi-finals. They then trumped Rajasthan 40-38 to enter the final. The state's dominance in the sport is fuelled by the popularity generated by the organisation of Pro Kabaddi League, which has a sizeable number of Haryana players. 'Whether it is me or young children, all of us were inspired by them to take up kabaddi as a career. The fact that they have already won medals for the country gives us confidence that we can also do the same, if we keep working hard. We are here in Bihar to win nothing short of gold at the Khelo India Youth Games. Khelo India is a very important platform for athletes like us to take the big leap in their career by showcasing our talent and skills here,' Jai Hind told SAI Media. 'The Indian government is doing a lot for sports. We receive free coaching, training facilities, sports kits, boarding and lodging at NCOE Gandhinagar. This helps athletes like me to just concentrate on their performance,' added the 18-year-old, whose father, Bijender Lather Jaglan is a farmer in Lajwana village of Jind district. The Indian team that clinched gold at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou comprised of four players from Haryana - Parvesh Bhainswal, Naveen Kumar, Sunil Kumar and Nitin Rawal. In 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, six players were part of the bronze medal-winning Indian team including Monu Goyat, Rohit Kumar, Pardeep Narwal, Sandeep Narwal, Deepak Niwas Hooda and Mohit Chillar. Another Haryana player, Nikhil Gulia, 17, harbours dreams of playing in the Pro Kabaddi League. Nikhil, who hails from Gudsam village in Panipat district, trains at the SAI Centre in Jaipur since April 2024. 'I get motivated while watching Pro Kabaddi. Players like Pardeep Narwal, Rahul Chaudhary have been a huge inspiration for us. My dream is to represent India in international tournaments and make a name for myself in Pro Kabaddi,' said Nikhil, who was part of Haryana's U-19 gold-winning in SGFI Championship last year. Haryana head coach Narinder Rana said that the state has traditionally been very powerful in contact sports like boxing and wrestling but Government of India's initiatives like Khelo India and the popularity of Pro Kabaddi League has been the reason behind their recent spurt in kabaddi. 'Haryana has always been in the forefront of sports. The policies of the Haryana state department are different, and that has helped in the growth of sports in the state. Sports Authority of India has always supported our athletes, and one can see that 50-60 per cent of our national team comprises of players from Haryana. They are present in large numbers in each of the franchises in the Pro Kabaddi League. Kabaddi players have been receiving support through Khelo India and various SAI centres and NCOEs,' Rana told SAI Media. (ANI)
