Monu Goyat, who two seasons ago was the costliest player in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), was signed for a modest figure on the final day of the auctions (category B, C, D and unallocated players) at Mumbai on Tuesday.

Raider Goyat, valued at ₹1.51 crore in Season 6, was picked for ₹20 lakh by Patna Pirates in the Season 8 auction.

All-rounder Chillar (₹20 lakh) and Dharmaraj Cheralathan (₹20 lakh) were signed by Dabang Delhi and Pink Panthers respectively.

Defender Sandeep Kandola, who entered the auction at a base price of ₹10 lakh, was signed by Telugu Titans for ₹59.5 lakh.
