Thalaivas go big this Auction

The excitement for Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 reached a fever pitch as Tamil Thalaivas made a powerful statement during the two-day auction, securing top-tier talent to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

In a blockbuster move on Day 1, Tamil Thalaivas stunned the Kabaddi world by bidding a

whopping ₹2.15 crore for star raider Sachin Tanwar. Tanwar, known for his explosive performances on the mat, now joins forces with Narender Kandola, creating a formidable left-right raiding combination that promises to be a treat for fans. The dynamic duo is expected to bring a new level of intensity to the Thalaivas' offense, making them one of the most anticipated teams to watch this season.

Day 2 of the auction saw the Thalaivas continue their strategic acquisitions by securing Moein Shafaghi, one of the two Iranian powerhouse of the team. Shafaghi, who was a crucial part of Iran's squad at the 2023 Asian Games, is expected to add depth and international experience to the team’s defensive lineup.

In a final strategic move, Tamil Thalaivas utilized the Final Bid Match (FBM) option to bring

back Amirhossein Bastami on board. Bastami, another Iranian stalwart, will further strengthen the team's defense, ensuring that the Thalaivas are well-equipped to challenge any opposition.

With these high-impact signings, the Tamil Thalaivas have assembled a squad brimming with talent, power, and the perfect blend of youth and experience. The combination of Tanwar’s raiding prowess, Bastami’s defensive expertise, and Shafaghi’s all-around capabilities makes the Thalaivas a team to watch out for in PKL Season 11.

The Tamil Thalaivas’ management expressed confidence in the team’s composition and are

optimistic about their chances in the upcoming season. "We have built a squad that reflects our ambition to be one of the top contenders this season. With Sachin, Moien, and Amirhossein, we have the right mix of skill, experience, and strategy to make a serious impact on the mat" said D Cheralathan, Strategy Coach.

“We have set our playing 7 and I feel it's pretty strong now. The team is very stable and we have good backups for each player. We are expecting an aggressive performance from each player this season”, said Shushen Vashishth, CEO.

As PKL Season 11 approaches, Tamil Thalaivas fans can look forward to thrilling performances and a team that is ready to take on all challenges in their quest for glory.
