Pro Kabaddi Season 12 Auction: Full list of players retained by franchises using Final Bid Match card

The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 Player Auction witnessed as many as 529 players going under the hammer and 121 of them being sold.

A total of 12 players were purchased from Category A, while 14 players were sold from Category B.

Category C saw 67 players snapped up by the 12 franchises, and 28 players were acquired from Category D.

One of the highlights of the Pro Kabaddi Season 12 auction was the introduction of the revised Final Bid Match (FBM) rule.

According to the new FBM rule, all franchises were allowed to buy back released players for either one or two seasons by matching the final auction bid price at the PKL Season 12 auction. Previously, the FBM rule allowed teams to retain a player for only one season.

PKL Season 8 champions Dabang Delhi K.C. used their FBM option to retain star raider Ashu Malik for INR 1.90 crore for two seasons.

Right cover Deepak Singh rejoined Patna Pirates for INR 86 lac after the three-time PKL winners exercised their FBM card to retain him for two seasons.

Among other two-season retention via the FBM option, PKL Season 10 champions Puneri Paltan reacquired all-rounder Mohd. Amaan for INR 35 lac, while defending champions Haryana Steelers retained Nepali raider Ghanshyam Roka Magar and left corner Hardeep for INR 13 lac each.

Earlier on Day 1 of the PKL Season 12 auction, Patna Pirates used their FBM card to retain all-rounder Ankit Jaglan for a whopping INR 1.573 crore for one season.

Seasoned all-rounder Vijay Malik returned to Telugu Titans for INR 51.50 lac after the franchise exercised their FBM option for one season.

PKL Season 2 champions U Mumba retained their left cover Parvesh Bhainswal for INR 25.10 lac using their FBM card for one season.

A total of 14 players were retained using the FBM option at the recently concluded auction, five players reacquired for two seasons, and nine players rejoined their respective teams for one season each.
