After being purchased by the UP Yoddha for Rs 1.65 crore, magical raider Pardeep Narwal broke an all-time record by being the highest-ever bought kabaddi player in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). Narwal was purchased by the UP Yoddha on Monday, August 30th, the second day of the PKL auction for Season 8, which will take place in December.

"Pardeep continues to re-write history books, with his price tag now quashing that of another star raider Monu Goyat, who was bought by the Haryana Steelers for Rs 1.51 crore in Season 6," stated a media release issued by the PKL late on Monday night.
