Another
shock
from
the
players
let
go
was,
the
most
expensive
player
in
PKL
history
as
UP
Yoddha
has
not
retained
Record-breaker
Pardeep
Narwal,
who
will
join
Sehrawat
and
the
rest
of
the
unretained
players
in
the
auction.

Meanwhile,
Bengal
Warriors,
the
2019
champions,
have
unsurprisingly
retained
their
talisman
and
star
raider
Maninder
Singh
ahead
of
the
auction.
The
other
two
retention
from
Warriors
were
Akash
Pikalmunde
and
Manoj
Gowda
K.
However,
some
big
names
will
be
heading
into
the
auction.

Defending
champions
Dabang
Delhi,
on
the
other
hand,
have
so
far
retained
all-rounder
Vijay,
while
Gujarat
Giants
retained
Sonu.
Jaipur
Pink
Panthers,
Telugu
Titans,
UP
Yoddha,
Puneri
Paltan
and
Patna
Pirates
have
also
revealed
their
retention
list.
Haryana
Steelers
have
not
retained
any
player
so
far.

Here
is
a
list
