Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 Auction Set to Highlight Star Player Devank Dalal's Debut
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India - The impending Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 auction on May 31 and June 1 is geared up to be a record-breaking player draft, as indicated by a release from PKL. The auction is anticipated to showcase an array of established stars, with Devank Dalal, Panchkula 11's Best Raider, leading the charge.
Dalal, who scored an admirable 301 raid points in 426 raids during Season 11, demonstrated his skills with eight Super Raids and 18 Super 10s. His remarkable consistency for Patna Pirates, culminating in a Finals appearance, has propelled him into the coveted category of free agents. Interestingly, Patna Pirates chose not to retain him, making Dalal a highly sought-after addition for competing teams.
Speaking on his first auction experience, Dalal expressed excitement, stating, "After such an outstanding performance, this is my first auction experience, so I am very excited." He further credited a memorable 26-point performance early in the season for fueling his motivation and growth throughout the campaign.
When queried about his destination preferences, Dalal remained open, remarking, "I can perform well with any team, but there's no guarantee which team will succeed - nothing is predetermined." Additionally, he leaves the door open for a potential reunion with Patna Pirates, provided the team utilizes the Final Bid Match option.
The upcoming auction may separate Dalal from his successful raiding partner Ayan Lohchab; however, the young raider expressed admiration for their past collaboration. "There are supporting raiders in every team, but I will definitely miss Ayan because we had excellent coordination," he noted.
In terms of the pressure associated with high price tags, Dalal demonstrated a mature approach, dismissing any concerns about potential monetary commitments. Instead, he focused on maintaining a strong mindset for the upcoming season: "Whatever is written in our destiny, we will get that much."
Aspiring for continued success in PKL 12, Dalal voiced his ambitious goals. "My personal goal is simple - whichever team I go to, I will give my best. I will perform even better than last year and try to help the team win all the titles," concluded Dalal.
