Germans, Mouritz Fuerste, Florian Fuchs and Tobias Hauke , set the HIL auction floor on fire with Moritz fetching whopping USD 105,000 and both Fuchs and Hauke getting USD 96,000 for the fourth season.
It seems the Germans, by and large, swept to fortunes due to missing out of Netherlands players for this year’s action.
Even as legends like Sardar Singh could go for only USD 58,000, Dabang Mumbai, mentored by Viren Rasquinha, put a cool USD 96,000 on Florian Fuchs.
Sardar Singh was sold for USD 58,000 by Punjab Warriors.
It was gathered that the tallest Indian player was not retained by the Waveriders as he did not respond to their communication in time, and it seems a costly miss. Sardar was captain of the DWR team in the last three editions.
Florian Fuchs of Germany could get USD 96,000 from Dabang Mumbai while Keiran Govers went for USD 36,000.
Tobias Hauke went for USD 96,000 to UP Wizards.
But its Kalinga Lancers which surprised the day when it offered to pay Moritz Fuerste for a record USD 105,000, which remained highest at the end of the day.
