The PKL season 12 auctions concluded on June 1, with 529 players going under the hammer and 121 of them being sold.
Charismatic Iranian all rounder Mohammedreza Shadloui Chiyaneh was first up for bidding, and it went down to the wire, before Gujarat Giants snapped him up for a whopping Rs 2.23 Crores (already more than the highest bid from the last auction which had 2.15 Cr for Sachin Tanwar). It's the third season in a row that Shadloui has crossed the 2 crore mark in the auctions.
