Fazal Atrachali, the Iranian-born defender was bought by Puneri Paltan for 1.38 crores. Fazal Atrachali is one of the most loved foreign kabaddi players. And the teams went berserk once his name popped up for the bidding. And Puneri Paltan won the battle.

The 30-year-old defender captains his national team and captained the U Mumba team earlier. He will render his services for Puneri Paltan this year. And the player might as well lead the Paltan team as well.

Guman Singh, one of the most consistent raiders alongside Pardeep Narwal and Pawan Sehrawat made his way into the U Mumba squad. U Mumba and Tamil Thalaivas fought hard for Pawan Sehrawat. U Mumba missed out on Sehrawat.

Guman Singh might be a great replacement. After playing for Patna Pirates last season, Guman Singh will don the U Mumba jersey this year.

5) Pardeep Narwal (90 Lakhs):
